Victims of Failed Knee Replacements

 

Any joint replacement surgery is a very serious surgery.  These are complicated and involved surgeries which cause a lot of pain and suffering to a person’s body—even when performed properly.  However, many of these joint surgeries are not performed properly.  Knee replacements are one of the most common joint surgeries to be performed improperly due to surgical medical malpractice.  This causes a patient additional pain and suffering, including additional and unnecessary surgeries to repair the mistakes made.
