Defective Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Recall Lawyers

Zimmer Biomet has issued a recall on its Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder System because of an unusually high risk of fractures in patients with the artificial shoulder.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has categorized the recall as Class I, the most serious classification possible–meaning use of these devices may result in serious injury or even death.

What’s Wrong with Zimmer Biomet’s Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder?

Zimmer Biomet’s Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder is intended to restore movement in patients with torn rotator cuffs that have developed arthropathy, a severe form of arthritis, and have suffered a previous shoulder replacement device failure.

Since 2010, however, the Zimmer Reverse Shoulder has been recalled by the manufacturer twice as a result of premature fracturing, which often resulted in long-term pain, additional revision surgeries and extended hospitalizations.
