Defective Smith & Nephew Knee Replacement Recall Lawsuit

Smith & Nephew Knee Implant

In August of 2003, Smith & Nephew's Orthopedic division alerted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) following the discovery of a Oxinium product defect. The defect was a design and function flaw that did not allow the macro texturing surface to provide proper bonding to the bone with its cementless design. Then in September of 2003, Smith & Nephew's Orthopedic division voluntarily issued a recall on the Oxinum Cementless Knee Replacements.

What Are The Recalls?

The recall was on the cementless versions of :

•    - Oxinium Genesis II
•    - Profix II

The patients who have received these devices could be at a higher risk of further joint and/or muscular damage, along with infection when compared to those who have received other knee implant devices.
