DePuy Knee Replacement Bone Cement Resulted in Loosening of Components, Lawsuit Alleges July 13, 2018 Irvin Jackson Add Your Comments DePuy Orthopaedics and its parent company, Johnson & Johnson, face a product liability lawsuit over its knee replacement SmartSet GHB bone cement, which the plaintiff indicates is prone to fail, resulting in mechanical loosening of knee implants. In a complaint (PDF) filed last month in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Osa Green alleges that DePuy SmartSet GHV Bone Cement is defective and unreasonably dangerous, indicating that if the manufacturer had disclosed known problems with the product, she would not have consented to the bone cement being used in her knee replacement surgery. Green underwent right total knee replacement surgery in August 2016, during which she received a DePuy PFC Sigma knee replacement system. To bond the components together, DePuy SmartSet GHV Bone Cement was used. However, after the procedure, Green began experiencing severe, persistent pain, instability, discomfort and difficulty walking.

Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Learn More About Knee Replacement Lawsuits If you or a loved one experienced complications or required revision surgery due to a defective knee replacement implant, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION According to allegations raised in the DePuy knee replacement bone cement lawsuit, the failure of the implant caused by asceptic loosening of the cement. A bone scan performed in August 2017 indicated that the tibial baseplate was loosening, and a month later she had to undergo revision surgery. DePuy SmartSet GHV belongs to a class of bone cements known as high viscosity (HV) cements, which some studies suggest are less effective than low or medium viscosity cements. The lawsuit notes that a study published in the Journal of Arthroplasty indicated that HV bone cements, like SmartSet GHV, are causing tibial component debonding even in implants that are seen as reliable. “The primary reason the SmartSet GHV Bone Cement fails is mechanical loosening. The mechanical loosening is caused by a failure of the bond between the tibial baseplate at the implant-cement interface,” the lawsuit states. “Mechanical loosening means that the attachment between the artificial knee and the existing bone has become loose. Such loosening will eventually result in failure of the device.” When the knee replacement loosens, it can cause pain and wear away the bone. This can lead to restricted physical movement and severe pain, which continues until the pain becomes unbearable, or the device fails, resulting in a loss of knee function. At this time is when most decide to undergo revision surgery to have the implant removed. Tibial baseplate loosening has affected other DePuy knee implants as well, including the DePuy Attune Knee, according to a number of lawsuits filed over those knee replacement systems. However, this lawsuit suggests that the problem lies in the cement used by DePuy products. In a study published last year in the Journal of Knee Surgery, researchers noted a spike in DePuy Attune knee loosening and failures, raising concerns about problems at the implant-cement interface. A number of DePuy Attune knee lawsuits are now being pursued by individuals nationwide, each raising similar allegations that the primary reason for the problems is mechanical loosening, which is caused by the failure of the bond between the tibial baseplate and the implant-cement surface. As of June 2017, the FDA indicated it had received about 1,400 reports involving failure with DePuy Attune knee replacements, including at least 633 cases where individuals have already required revision surgery.

Could not get a lawyer to even think about it. Of course it was a DePuy high flex knee. Going over my clinical visits and my attending surgeon at 90 days saw radiolucent lines BUT assumed it wasn’t tibial loosening. Wrong, Dr. Murphy allowed me to walk on 2 broken bones for eight years. No other knee surgeon didn’t pick up on it for 8 years. Our medical system is unrecoverable. Daniel April 5, 2024 In February 2021, I underwent bilateral knee replacement surgery using SMITH & NEPHEW/ORTHOPEDIC knees with DEPUY MITEK bone cement. Unfortunately, three weeks post-surgery, both knees became infected, leading to additional surgery to address the infection and replace the plastic components. Subsequently, I required a PICC line for 7 days. However, shortly after its removal, the infection recurred, necessitating hospitalization for implant removal and infection treatment. Following this, I underwent a second PICC line insertion and received 10 days of antibiotic therapy. On April 27, 2021, I underwent my eighth surgery to undergo knee revisions. While there were no infections, the bone glue in my right knee has failed, necessitating a revision of the revision on June 20, 2023. Furthermore, I am now experiencing similar pain in my left knee, indicating a potential need for revision surgery within the next year. Considering the significant challenges and multiple surgeries I’ve faced, I’m wondering if there are any legal avenues to explore regarding these medical complications, especially as this will mark my ninth surgery. Ricky December 21, 2023 Total knee replacement on 12/15/2016, DePuy. Continued having problems; excessive swelling, painful. Then in the past six years I have fallen several times, needing additional 1surgeries. Finally went with my wife to a different orthopedic surgeon for her and inquired about revision surgery. This was complete on 12/4/2023. This surgeon stated that the original replacement knee’s cement had failed and the knee components were loose. Any help with this as a law suite? Gary August 4, 2022 On 05/20/2013 , I had my rt. knee joint replaced with the DePuy (Attune) LCS, with 12.5 mm rotating platform poly bearing and a cemented size 3 tibial component. Four (4) months later on 09/30/2013, I had my lt. knee joint replaced with an identical prosthesis, same hospital, same surgical team. By 2015 it was evident that serious problems were happening with my rt knee. By 2016 it was officially determined to be ” abnormally mobile at the tibial plateau” , by 2017 my lt knee was starting to show signs of abnormality-pain and swelling-My rt. knee was revisioned (replaced) in 07/01/2019 and my lt. knee was revisioned on 03/08/2021…in both cases the second surgeons found only a blue chalky residue-no cement- under the tibial plate !…the epoxy/cement had completely disintegrated ! Almost 10 years since this journey began, with immeasurable pain , difficulty, cost and loss…and even after my new implants are medically perfect… I still cannot simply walk , sit , or stand like normal…I live on Gabapentin, Oxycodone, and tizanadine … Kenneth August 3, 2022 2012–tkr 2019-tkr Smartset bone cement failed. Implant was offset 20 degrees before 2nd tkr. Surgeon said the cement had turned to dust😳 Johnny April 1, 2020 Had no bi-latteral total knee replacement and had to have revisions due to loosening. Allen March 16, 2019 Just had a total replaced was told the same thing.. what now? Betty January 8, 2019 I had a partial knee replacement in January of 2016. By January of 2018 the pain started, resulting in revision total knee replacement in November 2018. The orthopedic surgeon who did the revision said the implant was so loose he could practically pull it out. SmartSet HV Bone Cement was used. The implant was Restoris MCK. I have a picture taken during surgery with severe damage to the bone apparent. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?
