Hello @mgm15 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am so sorry to hear of your horrendous experience. I can see that you are looking to connect with others who have had infections following a total knee replacement and to see if anyone else has taken legal action. I am not personally aware of anyone in this discussion who have, however, there could be.
While we wait for other members, have you been successful at both confirming the infection was a direct result of your surgery and have other providers who have indicated on record that as well?

Thank you for your reply. I can confirm the infection was in my left TKR. The surgeon pulled puss from the knee, then removed the infected hardware.
The reason I am looking for legal action is I am facing needing medical care for the rest of my life. I have to find out the manufacturer of the artificial knee to see if there has been any recalls. There are several manufacturers that have been thousands of law suits due to the recalls.
