Is anyone else having a problem with the biomet vanguard knee system?
Yes! I had a Knee replacement in Feb. 2007 and have been in pain ever since. I called the sergeon's office and they said there was no recall on Biomet replacement knees. I have gone to another orthopedic sergeon and he tells me that from X-Rays he has taken that the knee is loose in my leg. I would like to know if mine is the only case like this or if this common.

Was biomet oxford knee replacement recalled?
Hi, I don't know if they have been recalled yet so if you find out please let me know. My knee sucks. It hurts all the time, I get allot of fluid build up, and its so loose I can move my lower leg back and forth 3/4" and it makes a great deal of noise. I hope its recalled because if this is the best they have to offer they should stop offering it. I have had 26 surgeries now most being on my knees. 13 right and 8 left. I now have to have my left knee repaired and need to find out if there any mechanical problems associated with the Biomet Vanguard Knee.
