Thanks guys...appreciate the leads. Reason I'm asking is I have a client that had TSR surgery and within 8 weeks there was a mechanical failure of the hardware. The doctor had to go in and replace the joint with a new one.
Apparently mechanical failure is more common in knee replacements since it is a weight bearing joint. I can find no documentation of TSR hardware failing like this one did. Even the doctor who is very experienced has never seen it in his practice.
Litigation has heretofor centered around acrtions and malpractice of Doctors. In this case I am convinced Doctor did everything properly and have told him as much in writing and absolved him of all liability. But you know docs and lawyers...oil and water
He won't talk to me, which I understand...guess he feels if I sue manufacturer for products liability they'll accuse him of doing something wrong.
Basically I was looking for names of companies to do case law search on prior suits involving this type of product failure.
Thanks again.
