Recently, the Zimmer Persona Knee Implant came under fire after many people filed personal injury claims. As a result, Zimmer has begun to issue a recall of this implant.

For those unaware, the primary medical device, or portion of the device, at issue in potential claims is the Persona Trabecular Metal Porous-Coated Tibial Tray that is uncemented and any size other than A or B. The device was marketed and distributed in numerous states (including AK, AL, AZ, CA, CO, FL, IL, IN, KS, MA, MI, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, OK, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA and WI) and virtually all of the potential claimants should have received recall letters at this time.

The implantation timeframe at issue is roughly the beginning of November 2012, to the recall in the middle of March 2015. Essentially, the complications at issue are aseptic (i.e. not from infection) loosening, lucency and/or radiolucent lines.
