When implant devices fail is often difficult to say whether the implant manufacturer or the doctor of the implant surgery performed incorrectly is. This is the case for a new set of callbacks, the room NexGen knee implants. The New York Times reported, in fact, that this dilemma to a head said in the past year as the room highly paid consultants was that the complications likely a result of the NexGen's design, not doctor errors. Significant implications for potential lawsuits against the popular rooms NexGen this debate have knee implant model likely.

The NexGen knee implant model is unique as one of the most important components is not cemented to the bone. Instead the femoral component comprises porous coating, which merge with the femur and additional bone growth should promote. Unfortunately, consultant Dr. Richard Berger says former room, this design prevents, that an excessive pressure, which the femur merge at all, so that it is prone to complications and even revision surgery.

A group of prominent scientists in the May 2010 show a study at the American Association of Orthopedic surgeons, that an alarming nine percent of the NexGen knee implants required revision surgery and 36 percent of patients with un-cemented NexGen knee relaxation of reported knee implants submitted. Following further investigations were the MIS tibia and LPS femoral components reminds in end of 2010.

When Dr. Berger proves to be correct, and the knee implant complications, in fact, were the result of a development error could then the room NexGen knee implants the latest in a series of faulty products, have led the callbacks and even complaints. After the last fall of the voluntary recall of the DePuy hip implant models have complaints against the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary piled. So if you or someone you know knee implant received a NexGen, consider, the more information in the room pointed out. We will keep you informed of further developments.
