If you had a total hip arthroplasty, hip resurfacing or knee replacement surgery anytime since October 15, 2008, and required follow-up surgery within one year due to infection, contact Loncar Lyon Jenkins immediately.
If a defective device is to blame for your injuries, the attorneys at Loncar Lyon Jenkins may seek financial compensation for your damages. You may deserve compensation for medical bills (including corrective surgery), pain and suffering (including knee pain), lost income, and other damages.
Infections from Defective Implants Have Caused Victims Immense Harm
Our Dallas-based team is seeking justice for victims of infection and other implant-related health challenges.
Infection remains a serious complication of hip and knee replacement surgery. Infections can occur immediately after surgery or years after a doctor implants the device. The resulting infection may require physical therapy, hospitalization, administration of IV antibiotics, and a variety of other corrective measures.
Surgery is often necessary to remove infected tissue in and near the knee joint. Some victims of faulty knee replacement devices also need antibiotic spacers or the complete removal of the device. Such procedures can be painful and distressing and may have been avoided had medical device manufacturers done their jobs correctly.
What Types of Hip and Knee Implants Have Led to Infection?
Hip and knee infections can occur no matter what type of knee device you receive. This litigation is not limited to any specific implant, though authorities have recalled specific models like the Exactech Optetrak knee device.
Contact our firm if you suffered an infection or another adverse health event after receiving a hip or knee implant.

What Types of Health Complications Have Victims of Defective Implants Experienced?
Loncar Lyon Jenkins has been successfully representing clients with defective hip implants for over a decade, since 2008. Since then, we have noticed an alarming increase in adverse health events related to hip and knee implants.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notes an array of possible post-surgical complications related to implants, including:
- Knee pain
- Hip, leg, and groin pain
- Blood clots
- Tibial loosening
- Bleeding from the surgery area
- Bone fractures
- Development of a limp
- Noise coming from the area of the implant
These are only a sampling of the many health problems that can arise from defective implants. Our attorneys will seek fair compensation for these and any other symptoms you have suffered.
Our attorneys and experts will determine if your implant-related health problems stem from negligence by manufacturers or other parties.
Recoverable Damages for Victims of Defective Hip and Knee Implants
Adverse health effects from a defective knee implant or hip implant often require a long, hard road to recovery for victims. Having to undergo additional surgeries to address a defective implant can be draining, financially and otherwise.
Our team will seek fair compensation for all of your recoverable damages, which may include:
- Immense pain and suffering
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Lost income
- Diminished earning power
- Medical equipment
- Equipment and caregiver service specific to an infection-related disability
Your initial surgery should have been the extent of your medical demands. Due to failures by those who manufactured your implant, you have faced avoidable hardship, and you deserve fair compensation for your damages.
Our team will calculate your faulty implant’s total cost, including economic and non-economic damages.
