Zimmer Persona Knee Implant

Zimmer Persona Knee Implant

Defective Medical Device Lawyers in Buffalo

On March 12, 2015, the FDA announced that Zimmer voluntarily recalled its Zimmer Persona Knee Implant tibial component. Surgeons who implanted the Persona Knee and hospitals where implantation surgeries occurred were informed of the recall in February. According to the FDA, Zimmer is recalling its Persona Knee tibial component due to an increase in complaints of radiolucent lines on imaging and loosening.

Complications Associated with Defective Zimmer Persona Knee Implants

Zimmer’s Persona Knee Implant tibial component has been linked to a heightened risk of loosening and the formation of radiolucent lines. Radiolucent lines are gaps that appear on x-ray between bone and the knee component indicating that the component may not be adhering to the bone. This can result in the loosening of the knee components and may require revision surgery to correct.

In affected individuals, this can lead to:

  • Pain
  • Joint tissue damage
  • Fractures
  • Blood vessel damage
  • Nerve damage
  • Joint dislocation

In order to correct these and other adverse effects, individuals typically require at least one revision surgery, though many affected patients will require multiple surgeries and ongoing treatment in order to fully remove the faulty device and replace it.
