Optetrak, Truliant, defective packaging, oxidation, joint revision
Exactech recalled certain knee and ankle polyethylene inserts and liners because out-of-specification vacuum bags allowed excessive oxygen exposure before implantation, which may accelerate oxidation and premature wear.
Recall and injury theories
Plaintiffs tie early loosening, osteolysis, and revision surgery to oxidative degradation of polyethylene. Manufacturers may dispute imaging timelines, surgeon technique, and patient factors.
