Not sure if this is the same company that made your knee implants, but Stryker Corp just got hit with over a billion dollar settlement on hip replacements that dissolved.

Re: Hey Pete........
Bruce,
My implants were all made by Depuy (Johnson & Johnson), they were already hit with a major suit out of West Palm Beach for their hip implants. Nothing yet about the knee implants, I am basically going through the same problem, poly ethylene is breaking down and causes he joint interfaces to loosen up. I wouldn't be surprised if mine were made by the same people, I'll check into it. Did you ever get over to the islands to work on Mike M's 34 ?.
Thanks,Pete

Never went. Mike called to say his guy over there didn't seem happy with another male dog pissing in his yard so to speak.
I did a 3 way conference call and gave the guy some tips without injuring his ego and called it a day.
I'm hanging out a new shingle, Therapist.
