Do You Have An Attune Knee System?

DePuy Synthes, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, introduced The Attune® Knee System in March of 2013. It is implanted during a total knee replacement surgery or knee arthroplasty surgery and replaces the entire knee joint with artificial components. These components are mechanically connected to the femur bone (at the top) and the tibia bone (at the bottom). Ideally, such a surgery will improve joint function and reduce pain.

**We are no longer accepting cases for this defective medical device**

Unfortunately, the Attune® component intended to attach to the tibia (the tibial baseplate or tibial tray) can come loose, or “debond” and cause loss of function and pain. Such loosening can also cause bone loss and often requires a revision surgery to replace the defective component and reconstruct the bone loss. A simple x-ray may be able to determine if the baseplate has come loose.

Cause of the Attune^® Knee System Failure

Last year DePuy introduced a new design for the tibial component that bonds into the tibia more effectively. However, DePuy never recalled the defective component or informed doctors to stop using it in light of the newer, safer design. It also has not informed those who received the defective Attune® component about the defect and resulting harm. Finding out if you have an Attune® implant can be as easy as looking at the Implant Card you received from your doctor after your surgery, or asking your doctor. If you believe you received an Attune® Knee System and have been diagnosed with debonding or are simply suffering from unusual pain.
