Do I Qualify for the Exactech Lawsuit?

Who Qualifies for the Exactech Lawsuit?

Primary Requirements

1. You received an Exactech implant — Knee, hip, or ankle device manufactured by Exactech

2. Your specific device is on the recall list — Or showed signs of premature failure

3. You experienced complications — Pain, failure, or required revision surgery

Qualifying Devices

Knee Implants:

• Exactech Optetrak (all variants)
• Optetrak Logic
• Truliant
• Truliant XR

Hip Implants:

• Connexion GXL acetabular liners
• Other affected hip components

Ankle Implants:

• Vantage Total Ankle System

Qualifying Injuries

You may have a valid claim if you experienced any of the following with your Exactech implant:

• Premature device failure — Implant failing in years, not decades
• Revision surgery required to remove or replace the implant
• Persistent pain at the implant site
• Implant loosening or instability
• Bone loss (osteolysis) around the implant
• Inflammation, swelling, or fluid accumulation
• Loss of mobility or function
• Pseudotumor formation
• Need for additional surgeries

Factors That Strengthen Your Case

• Surgical records showing the specific Exactech device implanted
• Recall confirmation matching your device's serial number
• Imaging studies (X-ray, MRI, CT) showing device problems
• Revision surgery records if device was removed
• Pathology reports of removed components
• Documentation of pain, mobility loss, or quality of life impact

You May Still Qualify If...

• Your implant surgery was years ago — premature failure is the issue
• You haven't had revision surgery yet but experiencing problems
• You're not sure if your device is on the recall list (an attorney can check)
• You had multiple implant surgeries
• You experienced complications without complete device failure

Common Questions About Eligibility

My implant is still working but I'm worried — do I qualify? You may qualify for medical monitoring or future damages if your device is on the recall list. Discuss with an attorney.

I had revision surgery years ago — can I still file? Statutes of limitations vary by state. Many state courts apply a "discovery rule" — the clock may start when you connected your problems to the recall, not when surgery occurred.

My doctor said it wasn't the implant's fault — can I still file? Yes. The recall is based on packaging defects affecting many devices. Even if your doctor initially attributed problems to other causes, the recall provides a basis for your claim.

I don't know if my specific implant is recalled — how do I find out? Your surgical records will list the device. An attorney can cross-reference with the recall list to confirm.
