My Chronic Knee Pain After Replacement caused by Wrong Size Implant
Joint Replacements | Last Active: 5 hours ago | Replies (62)Comment receiving replies
@cyd - Welcome to my world. First surgeon screwed up. He used a DuPuy Attune implant, known to have problems, and an implant with years of litigation behind it. In fact, there are entire law firms that do ONLY DuPuy lawsuits. I knew something was wrong from the very beginning. Long story I had over a year of incredible pain, suffering, immobility, trouble with ADLs, no social life, no mobility due to pain. Second surgeon - brilliant - did the revision and, like you, I knew it was good.
I'm now interviewing attorneys and will be during DuPuy and/or my first surgeon.
Best of luck with your recovery!

@babette - Like you, I had a Depuy Attune implant used for my first total knee replacement in 2018. I too knew something was wrong from the beginning. Original surgeon downplayed my issues, insisted everything looked good. Fast forward- it took me 4 years to find an ortho surgeon to do testing and discover the implant was not only loose due to cement not adhering to it, but it was also the wrong size! Am doing very well after revision by new doctor. Am wondering if you had any luck with any legal action against makers of the implant? I have not.
