Smith & Nephew Oxinium Genesis II or Profix II - Knee Prosthesis Failure?
Smith & Nephew has withdrawn a recently launched orthopedic implant from the US market.
The company said that it had stopped sales of the "cementless" versions of two of its knee systems because of a higher than expected number of follow-up operations.
A number of the 3,000 patients fitted with cementless versions of its Oxinium Genesis II and Profix II implants in the US have needed to have the procedure revised after the implants became loose.

In addition to having revision surgery, patients that received the Oxinium Genesis II and Profix II may endure other complications. These complications may include infection, further joint and muscular damage, and painful rehabilitation.
If you or a member of your family has a Smith & Nephew Oxinium Genesis II or Profix II Knee Prosthesis, you may have a claim.
