Knee implants are intended to provide patients with normal knee function for a long period of time. The NexGen knee implants have instead failed prematurely and created substantial physical challenges for the individuals who received them. If you or a loved one has experienced complications associated with a Zimmer NexGen knee implant, please do not hesitate to contact our personal injury lawyers in Miami today – and let us help you recover the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Complications
Patients who have experienced issues with their Zimmer NexGen knee implants report problems with the device that have severely restricted their ability to perform daily tasks and move through the world comfortably. The most common complications include:
- Challenges walking or standing.
- Constant knee pain or swelling.
- Clicking or popping sounds in the knee.
- Loosening of the implant.
- Knee stiffness.
- Decreased range of motion.
- Trouble putting weight on the knee.
- The need for a costly and complex revision surgery.
In addition, Zimmer NexGen knee implants have been associated with a failure rate that’s substantially higher than it should be. While they are intended to last approximately fifteen years, the Zimmer NexGen devices can reportedly fail within just three years.
