The Sulzer Knee Replacement Lawsuit

Sulzer Knee Replacement Recall

In May 2001, Sulzer Orthopedics recalled approximately 1,600 knee replacements due to a manufacturing defect. The defective knee replacements were contaminated with an oil residue used in the manufacturing process. The residue inhibited the bonding of the knee replacements to the bone and, as a result, many patients experienced pain and difficulty walking. Sulzer Orthopedics was also forced to recall its hip replacement device for a similar reason.
