More details to this question:
I am 76 years old a woman. My left shoulder was replaced approximately 3 years ago. This year one of the screws broke, causing me to have a revision surgery last month. I am concerned about the loss of my independence and the expense, of medical costs as well as having to hire help with household tasks etc,. This is going to be a long recovery, and I do not know what the future implications might be, I have the screw which was removed, in my possession.

The statute of limitations in Wisconsin to sue for personal injury is 3 years from the date of the occurrence. Failure to file the lawsuit within three years would forever bar your claim. You indicated the occurrence was 3 years ago in your post, so depending on when this specifically happened in 2014, you may be out of luck with pursuing the case.
