NexGen knee replacements

Some knee replacements known as NexGen have been linked to higher-than-expected failure and revision rates.

We can help you find out if you may be affected.

If you are still experiencing pain, loosening or instability after your surgery, you deserve clear answers and proper support.

We are here to help you understand whether your knee replacement could be involved and whether you may be able to make a legal claim against the manufacturer.

What’s the issue?

Some knee replacements known as NexGen, made by Zimmer Biomet, have been linked to higher rates of problems and repeat surgery sooner than expected.

Data from the National Joint Registry showed that certain NexGen combinations needed to be replaced more than other knee replacements.

In December 2022, the manufacturer issued a safety notice about specific components.

Not everyone with a NexGen knee will experience difficulties. However, if you are still having symptoms, it is important to understand your options.

Quick questions

Do I have to pay?

No. We work on a “No Win, No Fee” basis. If you don’t receive compensation, you don’t owe us a penny as long as you have done what’as required as part of the claim.

Is this about my surgeon or the NHS?

No. These claims relate to the manufacturer of the implant components, not your surgeon or hospital.

What if I’m not sure which implant I have?

That is common. We can help obtain your medical records to confirm the details.

What should I do now?
  1. If you have paperwork from your knee replacement surgery, check whether it mentions NexGen components.
  2. If you are unsure, that is fine — our team can help.
  3. Complete our short eligibility check.

We will contact you for a friendly, no-obligation conversation to explain the next steps.
