How Many People Are Affected by the Exactech Hip Replacement Recall?
Since the company’s beginning in the 1980s, Exactech, Inc. has been one of the world’s leading manufacturers and distributors of artificial hip replacement devices. The Exactech Novation Crown Cup hip replacement device, with its Connexion GXL liner, was introduced on the market in the U.S. in 2007, and it was recalled in 2021.
This specific model (catalog number 136-40-XX) was the first to be announced as defective, but quite quickly, more models were added to the Exactech, Inc. recall list, including more of the Novation devices and a number of the MCS and AcuMatch® devices, all of which have the defective Connexion liner. If you have one of these devices, even if you aren’t currently experiencing any problems, you might qualify for a lawsuit and compensation.
