On The Loosening of Your NexGen Cr-Flex
The Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex device has recently been connected to a risk of premature failure in patients. In a study presented to a national meeting of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons in 2010, researchers found that roughly 9% of the population of their study experienced loosening or required revision surgery within just three years of having knee replacement surgery using the NexGen CR-Flex. Sooner or later, a Zimmer knee recall will happen.
The alleged issue with the NexGen CR-Flex stems from the way the product connects to the thighbone. The CR-Flex is a cementless system that fuses to the bone through natural ingrowth rather than using an epoxy like many other knee replacement devices. Many patients are finding that the product is loosening from the bone within just a few years, causing serious pain when the sufferer does something as simple as walking across a room or getting up from a chair.

If you are experiencing abnormal pain in your knee after receiving a NexGen CR-Flex knee replacement system, then it is important that you see a doctor to determine whether the device is still functioning properly. Typically, the doctor will run a bone scan to determine whether the device has loosened. A bone scan starts with injection of a harmless amount of a radioactive substance into the patient. After an hour, the doctor uses special equipment view how the substance has traveled through the knee, which will indicate if the patient will require revision surgery.
However, if you have been affected of this Zimmer knee device, a recall is not very important in your case. You must contact your doctor and lawyer immediately. Filing a claim against Zimmer is important. The first step is speaking to a legal professional to determine whether or not you should bring your claim. Your rights must be protected.
