Are You In Tune With Attune?
Attune is a catchy name for a replacement knee with a name suggesting harmony. Those that have had the implant however, may be experiencing significant discomfort and discord.
Across the country tens of thousands of people may have received the Attune Knee System which has a high rate of failure. The FDA warned about some problems with the device back in 2015 (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfres/res.cfm?id=137734), but now lawsuits are starting to aggregate as those receiving the DePuy Synthes’ Attune Knee System have suffered through:
• Early Revision Required
• Loosening
• Instability
• Swelling
• Impaired Range of Motion
• Pain
According to the The Journal of Knee Surgery, some orthopedic surgeons reported that indicated there is a high-rate of premature failures of the Attune Knee System. The failures may be attributable to debonding related to the tibial implant-cement interface.
Knee Failure will lead to revision surgery which will lead to additional rehab and recovery time and extra grinding of the internal parts that are used to hold the system in place.
