The Villages Exactech Hip Replacement Attorney

The number of people having hip replacement surgery has increased exponentially since the year 2000, while the total amount of time spent in the hospital for a hip replacement has decreased. While this is good news for many people who undergo this operation, there has been a disconcerting development for people that received the Exactech Connexion GXL liners as part of their procedure. 

What Is Wrong With Exactech’s Hip Replacement?

Exactech Connexion GXL liners are made of plastic, and they are inserted into the hip socket during hip replacement surgery. The liners are placed between the ball of the hip socket and the cup, and are intended to assist the parts of the hip in effortlessly moving together. Exactech touted these particular liners as being more resistant to fracture and normal wear, yet that has not been the case. Instead, some of Exactech’s Connexion GXL liners are deteriorating at an alarming rate, causing some patients to undergo revision surgery. The defect has led to an Exactech hip implant recall of the types of liners that are failing. 

What Are Signs & Symptoms of a Defective Exactech Hip Replacement?

If you are a recipient of an Exactech Connexion GXL liner, there are certain signs and symptoms that your hip replacement may be deteriorating and causing problems. Some of these indicators are:

• Limited range of mobility
• Weakness in hip joints
• Stiffness
• Difficulty in walking
• Pain
• Tissue damage
• Trouble moving normally
• Osteolysis (deterioration of bone tissue)
