Zimmer NexGen Knee Replacement Lawsuits

OVERVIEW: Several different components used as part of Zimmer NexGen knee replacement systems have been associated with a potential increased risk of problems, which may result in pain, limited range of motion, loosening of components or the need for additional revision surgery.

In March 2010, data was presented by a group of knee surgeons that indicates nearly 9% of patients who received the Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex Porous Femoral component required revision knee surgery within two years and 36% showed signs of the replacement knee loosening.

In September 2010, recalls were issued for several components due to apparent manufacturing defects or design defects. A Zimmer NexGen MIS recall was issued for more than 68,000 knee components following at least 114 reports of problems that caused some individuals to experiencing loosening of the parts or the need for additional knee surgery. In addition, a Zimmer NexGen LPS recall was issued due to nonconfirming and inconsistent geometry.

REPORTS OF LOOSENING AND REVISION: At a conference of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in March 2010, several prominent knee surgeons presented data on the outcomes of 108 knee replacement patients who received the Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex Porous Femoral component at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

After only two years, the researchers reported:

  • 9 patients required knee revision surgery due to loosening and pain
  • 39 patients showed evidence of radiographic loosening

It is suspected that the higher-than-expected failure rate is linked to design problems with Zimmer NexGen replacement knees, as the orthopedic surgeons concluded that they were not caused by surgical errors, problems with the techinque or the type of patient who received the knee implant.

More than 150,000 Zimmer NexGen CR and Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex Porous Femoral implants have been sold since 2003, and some doctors have reported experiencing a substantially higher-than-expected failure of the replacement knee within a few years of surgery.

The Zimmer replacement knee is a “high-flex” component, which attaches to the bottom of the thigh bone. In most knee replacement systems, a type of surgical cement is used to hold the implant in place. However, the Zimmer NextGen knee does not use a cement and this may be a design defect which increases the risk of a knee replacement loosening and needing additional surgery to revise the implant.

ZIMMER NEXGEN KNEE REPLACEMENT PROBLEMS: As a result of recalled Zimmer knee replacements and potential problems with the design for certain NexGen components, thousands of individuals may have been exposed to an increase risk of early failure.

A number of individuals throughout the United States pursued compensation through a Zimmer NexGen knee replacement lawsuit as a result of the manufacturer’s failure to adequately research the artificial knee system or warn about the risk of Zimmer knee problems.

I am 50 and i had a trk replacement 2 years ago! i have had pain ever since. i have been thru every test you could imagine and the doctor told me thats its normal. so i went to a 2nd orth and he did more tests and told me to just wait a little longer. my pain management doctor did 6 sets of nerve blocks and epidurals. said i was fine and took me off pain meds. i was a restaurant manager and now i get even walking with my husband. he is very energentic and i just am lost. my knee was a zimmer nex-gen, but it was cemented, but i dont know if its true and why i am in so much pain.

I have round out that there was a problem with my knees I have had both knees replaced. My right twice, my left was and still kills me.It stays swollen. My left shoulder was replaced, and it rolls out of place many times. I’m not to sure of what kind, I am waiting on my reports from my doctor. I would like to walk up and down the stairs with out falling on my face. I’m 47 yr old and I would like the chance to have a pain free life as much as possible.

After finding out I had a benign tumor in 2007, I had to have my right knee and part of my femur bone replaced. I thought maybe since my surgery was so aggressive, that is why I am in pain 24/7. Here lately, it seems the more I work at trying to get more flexion, the more it hurts. I cannot say for sure if I had a Nex Gen knee component used for my replacement, but my issues sound a lot like everyone else’s. I have problems walking up./down stairs, it hurts to sit for a long period of time, feels like my knee is on fire when I straighten it after sitting. I am only 40 years old, and really feel like I have a VERY old knee.

Dan
How can I find out if Nexgen was used in my knee replacement surgery?

I had a TKR in 2005 and the pain has never went away. I had to have my knee manipulated just so it would bend. I have been to pain management and had a few nerve blocks,but still no relief.I had an x-ray done and they said my knee was out of aliengment. It is very painful and i dont know what to do. I went through so much when i had it done that it scares me to think i would have to go through that again.
wayne
I had orthroscopic, didnt help, was worse off, then a zimmer spacer, hurt like hell when it came out the side, had the zimmer rep at the next op, the biggest spacer they make, it too came out, then total knee repacement, was worse then ever, then a knee revision. now after only 3 years 6 or 7 ops its worse then ever hurts , lose buckles and just collapses out of now where, last week i had “drop foot” left foot doesnt work, that think it may be the knee. if its not fixed soon it will be perm. and ill walk like the hunch back of frankinstien, maybe frankinstien would have been a better choice for treatment. now im disabled cant work and take drugs all daty for pain and nerve issues. run if you can if anyone wants to install any simmer items in your body, your better off with your pain and keeping your own knee.

Hello I’m 65 years of age, I had total knee replacement on my left knee. According to the surgery I have had a few complaints on lack of bending, unpleasent limp, and according to non knee support includes lower back pain. Resulting in this pain I can no longer manouver to do house work, and can’t enjoy activities with my kids. For example mall trips, standing up, and extracurricular activities with my husband.
Rhonda
In 2007 I had a left knee replacement. I know I have a Zimmer , but not sure what kind. I have been in pain every since. Had knee scoped in 2009. Had revision done April of 2010. Could not put any weight on it so i went back to the doctor.Orderd another bone scan. And it looks like im going to have surgery again. Since I was off already 2 and a half months , all I have is 4 weeks left on FMLA. Then I could lose my job.. Im tired of the pain, surgeries, and wondering if Im going to be able to pay the bills.Cant something be done?? Four times, one knee!!!!

I am a 38 yr old female. I had a TKR in June of 2004 after several previous knee surgeries and a femoral osteotomy. I am currently taking several pain medications do to swelling and pain that I am still having. How do I found out if I have this product as a TKR? The Dr. who performed my surgery is no longer in practice.
delinda
In September 23, 2008 had right knee replacement , I have a 5 inch hole on the left side of leg and my knee cap was on the right side of my leg sitting in a dangerous position where it could have been deadly had it moved some more. I found out all of this from a second opinion. I has since had the 3rd surgery for 3 yrs straight. I am angry at the Doctor who did left/right knee replacements cause he lead me on to think it was scare tissue that was causing the pain and discomfort. How do we get paid for all the deformity and pain and suffering we experiment?

On May 5, 2005, I had a total knee replacement. The orthopedic surgeon used a Zimmer NexGen replacement. Within a less than 18 months, I started experiencing pain. By mid-2008, the pain became severe-often feeling as though the prosthesis was shifting & hitting nerves–and my mobility became significantly limited–I couldn’t walk up or down stairs, was unable to grocery shop or perform typical daily activities because of the pain. When the prosthesis shifted, the pain was excruciating–causing me to break out in a cold sweat, unable to maneuver to a position that would relieve the pain. I would almost lose consciousness & become nauseous. The orthopedic surgeon who performed the TKR retired in September 2005 (shortly after my TKR) because his wife suffered a debilitating disease requiring his care. I was referred to another orthopedic surgeon in St. Louis who performed several tests–x-rays, bone scans, etc. but seemed unable to identify the problem. Finally, in October, 2009, he referred me to an orthopedic surgeon who specialized in knee revisions. The new surgeon took x-rays of the TKR and immediately identified the problem-the Zimmer NexGen prosthesis had COMPLETELY detached–it was not cemented anywhere. His first question of me was: “So how’s walking going for you?” to which I replied it really sucks. He showed me the x-rays, which clearly showed the prosthesis NOT attached ANYWHERE!! In February 2010, I received a total knee revision and, within a week, was virtually pain free even when receiving physical therapy.

I had a TKR in Jannuary of 2007 and April of 2007 and I’m still in pain. The pain is worse than when I had the surgery. I can’t sit down or stand up without holding onto something, I have a stand with handles over my toilet because I have to use it to sit town and get back up. My doctor siad everything looked good from the X-rays and I would tell him that I was still in pain, but I guess as long as everything was looking good on the X-ray…everything was alright. I have taken therahy and it didn’t help. The theraphy did tell me that it shouldn’t still be bothering me. So I finally decided to get another opinion and this doctor said that one of the knees wasn’t as tight as he would like to have seen it. But he wouldn’t recommend an Revision because it may or may not help me, he also said that I was in that percentage that the TKR didn’t help. I am 55 and I hurt all the time, some days are worse than others. I had back surgery in 2003 and everything was fine, now I can’t do anything without my back and thigh hurting. I don’t know if it’s from my knees or not. I’m thinking about tryin another Doctor, because neither one of these doctor didn’t do an MRI, all they done was an X-ray. My knee is always warm & swollen, it doesn’t grind, but it pops all the time. It’s had hinder my life a whole lot and I’m just suffering from pain, two ugly scars and going off at the airport!!!!

I too have suffered continuously since my surgeon placed a Zimmer non-cemented knee prosthesis in my right knee. He lied to me, never discussed what prosthesis he used (following surgery) and let me live in pain for over a year. I could not get help from other surgeons in southwest Missouri and was forced to go to Topeka, Kansas for a revision in February of 2010. I am still dealing with daily misery and pain. The surgeon in Kansas (whom I like) noted in his surgical notations I obtain from the hospital, that only 5% of bone growth had taken place and that the remaining bone to plate was fibrous. My surgeon has NEVER told me he used a Zimmer Non-cemented prosthesis. In fact when I asked to see a prosthesis after my surgery, he ignored my requests until I wrote hime a letter asking to see a device. He gave me a few parts (not the Zimmer parts in my knee) and made the following notation to the record (I have a copy): “I gave the patient a prosthesis to play with.” TO PLAY WITH?!!!!! I have a long story to share with other patients and any attorneys working on this issue.

I had a TKR in July of 2008 with the Zimmer Nexgen within months after replacement I had to have 2 knee manipulations cause even after PT the knee still would not bend very well. Now it’s been 2 years and I still have limited movement and it swells and hurts and makes odd clunking noises and the rest of my leg below the knee swells and feels like pins and needles all the time. I called the Doc. that did it to find out if there is something I can do to ease the problem and he had past away and they have no idea where my medical records are. They referred to an other Ortho. so that means I would have to start all over from the beggining, But I have no Insurance and have no records of the surgery, to go by…What do I do now????
Janice
I also had the total knee replacement on my right knee in 2006, It never healed I kept going back to the doctor and told him I was in pain, couldn’t walk it felt like something happen , my knee crakle and I felt I was walking on stilts.Finally I went for a 2nd opion. He gave me a choice to try brace or get the knee replaced. Went in the hospital thought I had a replacement instead I had a revision. and that was May 2007. It is now Semptember 2010 and is still on pain pills and canonly walk so far and is not steady on my feet, The manufacture will not take responsibilty saying I don’t have the origional one to hand them. My life is misable what can I do

My husband is 48 years old on 8/23/2008 my husband had bilateral knee replacement. His right knee got infected and the surgeon had to operate again. It was a long terrible recovery, he looks great for his age and had the surgery intially because he abused his knees at work for 22 years. He always has people telling him “you look great” which makes it worse for him, thinking he should feel good. We still have a young child that he cant do things with like our older ones. He has told the Dr somethings wrong the Drs reply, give it time. His knees are warm to hot all the time, and you can hear grinding and cracking noises. My husband says I wish I could just cut them off. Even though we live in a large city the insurance will only pay for the one Dr, and he is TPD (totally and permanantly disabled) Pain meds give him no relief, he doesnt even want to go back to the Dr because he knows he will just send him for more physical therapy, apparently thats their answer for everything 9 years ago they told him he was too young for knee replacement go to PT by the time they did the knee replacement, because of our persistance, we were told it was some of the worst knees the DR had seen, a lot worse than the MRI showed. So now I dont know who to trust. ( the first words out of my husbands mouth when he woke up in recovery was they are in wrong, my knees feel like they are bending backwards, and seemed panicked) He still feels something was not done correctly because of the constant pain.

From day one after the surgery, I had sever pain. They had to make up a pain coctail for me because morphine didn’t do anything for me. The pain consist still aftre 2yrs(3yrs in Jan). My dr. kept telling me everything look ok. I can bend the knee. I have to make sure someone is home if I decide that I want to take a bath (in tub). I have to make sure I can get out of my car without being close to another car. I fell over my grandson toy and pulled a ligament and broke the bone in my cheek. This is the only way my dr. knew that I needed someone to take care of this problem. He refered me to his partner and his partner told me the cement never took on this knee. Now more surgery is due Oct..18

I had a total knee replacement done to my right knee on June 2, 2009. On July 24, 2009 I was back in the operating room because my knee would not bend. I am constantly in pain; along with the swelling and other symptoms…left knee pain, back pain, hip pain and torn ligaments in my right foot because of the way I walk with the knee replacement. I am so tired of the pain and it is affecting every aspect of my life. I’m trying to go to work because I have children to support and the pain is getting harder to bare every waking minute of the day. I’m tired of taking pain medication but can’t seem to get myself going without it. I never thought in a million years I would still be in this amount of pain. I thought I would have the operation, go through the healing process and be able to at least walk up and down my stairs without struggling to take each step. I am scheduled for surgery to correct the problems with this replacement. I must be honest and say I am worried about things that could go wrong again. I am too young to endure all this pain and the thought of being confined to a wheelchair is not an option I wish to entertain at this point in my life. There are too many things I want to accomplish and having fun with my grandbabies is a top priority for me.

I would not recormend ZIMMER.

In 2006 I fell at work, thought i just brused my knee. the pain got so bad i went to the doctor, in feb 2007 i had my first knee surgery. tha pain was so bad i had to have a partial knee replacement that was 3 months later. and two doctors. the pain was still so bad i had to find another doctor to help i could not stand the pain even with pain meds. it took 7 months to get another doctor to help me, i had to use a walker to keep from falling, so in 2008 i had full knee replacement . i still have the knots in my right leg, doctors said it was from the pain and i will all ways have knee problems for the rest of my life, i have to live with pain, walking funny, slow, and now the 3rd full knee replacement is more painful than than the first two, I have a ZIMMER NOW.

In Dec. 2004 I had a Zimmer Nex Gen implant after which I never felt I totally recovered. I kept returning to my doctor over the years and he kept telling me I’d get better. Finally in the summer of 2008 I went to another Orothopedic Dr. who did a bone scan and stated the fixture was loose. In Nov 2008 he replaced the bottom part of the device and after the normal rehab period I am doing great ! I suffered much those 4 years.
Carol
So sorry for all of you in pain, I know what you are going through. I had total knee replaced 11/04/08 not quite 2 yrs, I;ve always had swelling, and some pain, but about 6 months ago it started getting worse, my doctor wanted to treat my other knee that really wasnt bothereing me except if you push on a tender area. Gave me cortizone shot in good knee, and went back still having pain wanted to do MRI of good knee!! I didnt do it, I got another doctor he ordered nuclear bone scan it showed loosening, so I am having to get the operation over again!!!I’, 63 and active , when my knee doesnt hurt.I had Zimmer nexgen knee also.

I had TKR on right knee May of 2009. I have never been pain free. I am 55 years old not overweight and in great physical conditions. After starting physical therapythe swelling in my knee would never subside. My PT measured my knee every week and there was time it was bigger but never got smaller. After 3 weeks my PT state my knee needed to be drain and it was, by the 5 week my PT would not work on my knee because of the swelling. So after moring draining (approx twice per month) in February 2010 a revision was performed. So after spending 11 days in the hospital and draining my knee 8 times (once it was twice a day), a CDC doctor stated the knee replacement must come out. So 3 months later the TKR has been removed I’m in a brace and if I bend my knee I could tear everything. So hopefully in September they will put a new knee in.
Bobbie
In 2003 I received one of these great knees, only 43 and twins to raise I had this knee replacement to fix my right knee. It has been a nightmare that I cannot wake from! Doctors saying it is heaked and it can’t do that. The knee is in my leg not theirs. I have constant pain, metal on metal rubing, it stop fuctioning and I fall or I stumble around like I am drunk. It has caused me back, hip, and destroyed my other knee because of how it makes me limp when I walk. I have tried every kind of pain medicine and arthrist medicines with no luck. I even ask them to cut it off! I am so glade that other people are having problems with their’s. My doctor says it’s healed, I need help I have been disabled since they put it in and uninsured so I can’t get it fixed!
Marcia
in 2006 I had a total replacement of my right knee with a Zimmer Next Gen knee. I have had it for 6 years but in the last 6 months I’ve had pain, popping and crunhing when I walk. Medication does not always aleviate the pain. Specialist had cat scan and bone scan and said it appears there is loosening and shifting of bottom piece. I am scheduled to have revision total knee-femoral and entire tibial component on 8/24.
Shirley
I had TKR on left knee July of 2007, on right knee in Nov of 2007. I have never been pain free. I am overweight and have been trying to lose weight so that my knees will be under less stress. I was told swimming would be a good exercise, I have been careful not to do anything that will move my knees side to side… only back and forth, but the more I exercise the more pain I am in. I can barely walk now. I always use a cane and sometimes need assistance going up steps. I found that I have the Zimmer NexGen replacements. I am going to get tests done by a specialist to see if they have loosened or are what is causing my pain. I cannot exercise, therefore I am not able to lose weight. I am in a viscous circle. I hope that I find the problem is related to the manufacture defect, but I also hope the “FIX” is not to get new parts, but just adjustments. I want to dance!!! Right now all I can do is wince in pain as I slowly walk where I need to go. Wish me luck!!
Dianna
On 3/15/10 I had a (TKR) after 2 wks I was telling my Dr. I am in pain 24/7, he told me it would pass, and told me to stay on my walker. 4 months latter he is still telling me to stay on my walker. My knee will not extend or bend completely. On 6/17/10 I had a 2nd opinion, I was told “it won’t get any better than it is right now”. I called the 1st Dr. to find out what the brand was on my knee, it is a Zimmer NexGen CR. I am having a revisement of my knee 7/27/10, Why did’nt someone tell me I had a choice in what brand I am paying for?
