History

If you've been implanted with a Repicci knee replacement which has failed, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and get compensation for your pain and suffering. Take the first step today by filling out this simple form.

Following Charnley's success with hip replacement in the 1960's numerous attempts were made to design knee replacements. Gunston and Marmor were pioneers in North America. Marmor's design allowed for unicompartmental operations but these designs did not always last well. In the 1970's the "Geometric" design found favour as well as Install's Condylar Knee design. Hinged knee replacements for salvage date back to Guepar but did not stand up to wear. The history of knee replacement is the story of continued innovation to try to limit the problems of wear, loosening and loss of range of motion.
