More details to this question:
I had a total knee replacement in February 2015. In May 2016 I had to have a revision which my surgeon said was caused by my stumbling a couple of times. I never fell completely. Because of continued pain and swelling with no infection I opted for another surgeon. With a bone scan, xrays and knee exams by a new surgeon I am told I have Prosthetic Joint Mechanical failure and need another total knee replacement
1 ANSWER
Mechanical failure sounds more like defective product
get the part numbers and manuf documents from surgeon to investigate on web for any recalls or reports and can check FDA website or then consult a lawyer
either way when it comes out must have parts saved and examined
