Attorney at Graves McLain Injury Lawyers
Practice Areas: Wrongful Death, Medical Malpractice
The attorneys at Graves McLain are currently investigating claims involving the Stryker ShapeMatch Cutting Guide. The ShapeMatch Cutting Guide was used during knee replacement surgery in conjunction with the Stryker Triathlon Knee Implant.
The ShapeMatch Cutting Guide was approved through the FDA’s 501K process in May 2011. In November 2012, Stryker ceased marketing the cutting guide and instructed surgeons to stop using the product.
In April 2013, the FDA issued a Class I medical device recall for the ShapeMatch Cutting Guide.
What is the ShapeMatch Cutting Guide?
The ShapeMatch Cutting Guide is a single-use, disposable cutting guide.
They are used for marking bone cutting prior to surgery and as surgical instrumentation to assist in the positioning of the knee replacement components during surgery.
Concerns for this device are that the cutting guide does not meet FDA parameters and does not meet the parameters entered into the program by the doctor. These deficiencies result in misalignment, joint instability, fracture, limited mobility, chronic pain, and many times can lead to the need for revision surgery.
Potential damages and problems arising from the ShapeMatch cutting guide deficiencies include:
