The Maglio Christopher & Toale Law Firm has represented individuals across the country with defective knee joint replacement devices in lawsuits against the manufacturer of the device. The defects that our lawyers see vary and not all problems can be included here. However, the main defects in artificial knee devices that the trial lawyers of the Maglio Christopher & Toale Law Firm are seeing at present are:

• Premature Polyethylene Insert Failure
• Stryker Osteonics Howmedica Duracon Knee Implant Failure
• Smith & Nephew Oxinium Cementless Knee Implant Failure

Of course, there are a number of other problems with prosthetic knee joint replacement devices that have been implanted into patients. If you believe that your knee joint replacement was defective, but it is not listed above, you may still have a case.

There is absolutely no obligation or cost to you for us to review your case. In the event that we are willing to take your case, we charge a percentage of any recovery as our fee. In the event that there is no recovery, we receive no fee.

Typically in order to review a case, we need the orthopedic surgeon's office chart, the operative reports for the original joint replacement surgery and the revision surgery, and the device record for the original surgery from the hospital chart (this shows the product and lot numbers of the components of the device). We also like to have the device. Therefore, it is essential that you get possession of the device as soon as it is removed. It may still be possible to do the case with no device, but it will be much more difficult.

Please do not hesitate to call or e-mail us.
