Health your username December 15, 2020 On Monday, in the Western District of Arkansas, an individual filed a complaint against medical device company Zimmer Biomet., various subsidiaries, and other unnamed companies, alleging that an elbow device designed, manufactured, and sold by the Biomet defendants exploded while implanted in the plaintiff’s left elbow, causing “catastrophic injuries and damages.” The plaintiff said he had reconstructive surgery on his left elbow in August 2010, which included an installation of the Biomet Discovery Elbow System. In February 2018, as the plaintiff was trying to get out of bed, he used his left arm to support himself but then “heard a loud bang and felt immediate severe onset of pain” in his left elbow, the complaint said. The plaintiff alleged that the loud bang and subsequent pain came from the breaking of Biomet’s device while inside his elbow.
