Symptoms of Knee Implant Failures
How do you know if your DePuy implant is failing? If you experience any of the following symptoms past the normal knee implant surgery recovery period, you should contact your doctor immediately:
- Loosening and Instability: If your knee “gives out” when you stand or put weight on it, or you experience hyper-mobility (your knee is prone to moving unnaturally – backwards or sideways), something is likely wrong. This condition is worsened when the surrounding ligaments become inflamed as well and lose their tension.
- Swelling: This is generally due to inflammation of the knee lining or synovium, which, in turn, causes increased production of fluid as a response to irritation. When the body cannot absorb the amount of fluid produced the effusion or accumulation causes swelling.
- Heat or Warmth in the Knee: This is a normal sensation for several months after knee surgery, but if it persists or comes back, there is a problem.
- Pain: This may manifest as a minor soreness or it can be an acute, severe pain that presents upon motion or as a constant throbbing.
Legal Representation for Victims of DePuy Knee Implant Failures
If your doctor determines that your DePuy knee implant has failed, you will likely have to undergo revision surgery. Revision knee surgery is much more difficult than initial implantation and is often complicated by bone loss. With a lawsuit against the DePuy Orthopedics and Johnson & Johnson, we may be able to help you obtain compensation for your pain and suffering and other damages. To learn more about a potential knee implant lawsuit, you should contact us immediately as the statutes of limitations restrict the time frame in which you may be able to pursue your claims. If you believe that you or a loved one has been seriously injured due to these products, and you are interested in learning more about how we can help, please contact us today.
