Initially, the recall only included a limited number of Exactech knee replacements. However, the manufacturer has now widely expanded the recall to include all the Exactech polyethylene inserts shipped with knee and ankle implants in non-conforming bags. 

 

As a result, the implants that have been impacted by the Exactech Poly Recall include:

• Exactech Optetrak

• Exactech Optetrak Logic 

• Exactech Truliant knee systems

• Exactech Vantage ankle system

How Do You Find Out If You Have a Recalled Exactech Knee Replacement?

Unfortunately, many individuals that have received a knee or ankle implant may not know whether they have a recalled Exactech part. As a result, if you are looking to find out whether you have a Defective Exactech Implant, you may need to obtain copies of your medical records or contact your doctor or surgeon to confirm the details of your replacement part, including the implant name and the serial number. You can then use the serial number and compare it to the list of affected devices provided by Exactech.

Yet, if you have issues finding out this information, you can also reach out to a  Exactech recall lawyer. These attorneys can determine whether you, in fact, have a recalled Exactech replacement device and help you figure out the legal options you have.

Financial Damages You Can Pursue if You Have a Defective Exactech Implant

• Pain and suffering

• Loss of wages and reduced earning capacity

• Inconvenience related to your recovery time following any additional surgeries

Yet, the best way to determine what financial damages you may be entitled to if you discover you have this defective Exactech implant is to reach out to a Exactech recall attorney.
