  • Bone fractures
  • Loosening of the elbow device
  • Failed joint use
  • Soft tissue damages
  • Osteolysis (bone destruction)
  • Revision or Additional surgery

These problems can mean additional surgeries, including elbow replacement revision surgery. If you or a loved one experienced any of these issues, please call 855-566-4648 or contact us to learn more about filing an elbow replacement lawsuit.

Recall on Elbow Devices

On December 30, 2016, Johnson and Johnson recalled its DePuy Synthes® radial head prosthesis because of the risk of loosening in the component that anchors the implant in the arm’s radius bone. The DePuy Synthes Radial Head Prosthesis System® is intended for elbow revision joint replacement. According to the recall,  the product has the possibility of loosening after the implant at the stem bone interface.

In a letter from the J&J to physicians, they stated “Based on the currently available data, we believe the cause to be multi-factorial (including possible product characteristics, operative and patient factors), but we have not been able to fully characterize these factors. Consequently, we have not been able at this time to issue further instructions to surgeons that might lead to a reduction in issue rate and have decided to remove the DePuy Synthes Radial Head Prosthesis Stem® from the global market”.
