      ATTUNE Knee Litigation

    • ATTUNE Knee Litigation

      Johnson & Johnson and its DePuy Synthes subsidiary are facing a number of lawsuits over defects in the ATTUNE Knee implant.


      Have you or somebody you know suffered pain, swelling, stiffness or other complications resulting from a DePuy ATTUNE Knee implant?

      About the Product

      Designed by DePuy Synthes, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, ATTUNE Knee was intended to improve the range of motion, stability and quality of life in patients who underwent knee replacement surgery. It promised a quicker recovery and more natural movement. The product was introduced to the market in 2011 and the company has stated it was one of the largest R&D projects in DePuy Synthes’ history. Despite all of their research, the company filed dozens of reports with the FDA documenting premature failures of the ATTUNE Knee system.

      Unfortunately, ATTUNE Knee became associated with numerous complaints from its patients:

      • Device Failure and Loosening

      • Pain and Swelling

      • Difficulty Walking

      • Limping

      • Need for Removal or Revision Surgery

      • Stiffness

      • Bruising and Infection

      At least one study performed on ATTUNE Knee found “unusually high” failure rate which may stem from failing to bond components to the tibia, one of the bones in the lower leg commonly referred to as the “shinbone.”

      In 2015, DePuy recalled nearly 14,000 ATTUNE Knee surgical tools. To date, there have been no recalls of ATTUNE Knee implants.

      The FDA’s database shows at least six other DePuy knee recalls since 2013. Below is a list of recalls:
