Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder Lawsuit

Zimmer Biomet is recalling the Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder because these devices are fracturing at a higher rate than is stated in the labeling. Fractures may result in revision surgeries which could cause serious injuries.

The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious adverse health consequences such as permanent loss of shoulder function, infection, or rarely, death.

FDA Warning:

These devices are fracturing at a higher rate
than is stated. Revision surgeries may cause
serious adverse health consequences.

What is a Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder?

The Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder is a shoulder replacement device that is surgically implanted to help restore arm movement. This device is beneficial for patients with rotator cuff tears who have developed a severe type of shoulder arthritis known as arthropathy and previously failed shoulder joint replacement.

The number of patients who suffered from fractures or require revision surgery shortly after being implanted with the reverse shoulder device rose at an alarming rate over the last few years.

According to court documents, the manufacturer knew about this risk, but failed to disclose this information to the public.
