Problems with Smith & Nephew Knee Replacement Implants

In August of 2003, Smith & Nephew’s Orthopedic division alerted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) following the discovery of a Oxinium product defect. The defect was a design and function flaw that did not allow the macro texturing surface to provide proper bonding to the bone with its cementless design. Then in September of 2003, Smith & Nephew’s Orthopedic division voluntarily issued a recall on the Oxinum Cementless Knee Replacements.

Last year, Smith & Nephew voluntarily recalled the cementless versions of its Oxinium Genesis II and Profix II implants. Smith & Nephew recalled these defective knee replacements implants because they did not bond properly. Many patients who received the Oxinium Genesis II and Profix II required revision surgery. Patients that received the Oxinium Genesis II and Profix II are also at higher risk of re-infection, further joint and muscular damage.
