Osborne, Francis & Pettis injury attorneys are investigating allegations of a design defect with Knee Implants from the manufacturer Braun for their Aesculap Vega Total Knee Replacement Systems.
Promoted by the manufacturer as “advanced surface technology” their new 7-layer coating was marketed to improve scratch resistance, wear resistance, provide “good wettability” for better articulation between the bearing surfaces and to create a potential barrier against the release of metal ions.
Many patients who have been implanted with the Vega Knee System have suffered painful inflammation, loosening, swelling and failure of the knee implants.
Since January 2016 the FDA database has shown an increasing number of Adverse events with these particular implant systems. Surgeons have noted during revisions of the Aesculap Vega Systems that the “advanced coating” seemed to prevent the bone cement from achieving proper fixation resulting in loosening of the implant, causing severe pain and the need for complex revision surgeries.
A recently filed lawsuit claims that the manufacturer concealed substantial knee implant defects from regulators and aggressively marketed its knee implant systems knowing that they were likely to fail and endanger patients.
Our attorneys have a track record of success against manufacturers like Braun, Zimmer, Depuy, Stryker, Biomet, Smith & Nephew, Wright Medical and others who’s’ devices have injured our clients.

“I am so thankful for EVERYONE, the entire staff at Osborne & Francis Law, for mentoring me through the mediation process with my hip replacement failures. I didn't realize how MUCH pressure they relieved me of by helping me deal with the reality of this traumatic time in my life, as it was OVER so quickly with a positive result. My family is grateful to have their mom HAPPY & FOCUSED on the future, rather than worrying over what happened in the past! FAST FORWARD, we are LIVING LIFE to the fullest once again!”
“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case. The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”
Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
"Best personal injury attorney around, I could not be happier! I was seriously injured in a car accident and Osborne and Francis helped me through the entire process. I was blown away by how knowledgeable the staff and attorneys are at this incredible law firm. I would not hesitate to recommend this law firm to friends and family!"
