Exactech, a manufacturer of joint-replacement implants for hip, knee, and ankle surgeries, has recalled three types of prostheses in 2021 and 2022. Initially, the company downplayed the recall claiming that there were \u201clabeling errors\u201d that could lead to the use of components beyond their shelf life. Further investigation, however, revealed that the polyethylene plastic used in these devices’ manufacturing was not properly cured, which can result in premature wear and degradation and device failure.<\/p>\n

If your Exactech implant is on the recall list or it fails, you may have to have a revision surgery. Typically, a revision surgery involves removing the original implant and replacing it with a new, non-defective implant. Unfortunately, a revision surgery presents all the risks associated with your original implant surgery and additional risks such as a higher chance of complications, extended rehabilitation, and a shortened device life expectancy.<\/p>\n
