The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is questioning the approval of Menaflex, a patch for the knee manufactured by ReGen Biologics. Menaflex is marketed to help repair a torn meniscus. Unfortunately, there are reports that the patch is ineffective, necessitating a second surgery.
The Menaflex patch is surgically installed at the lateral or medial meniscus to “guide” new tissue growth.
Common Injury From Knee Hitting Dashboard In Car Collision
A torn meniscus is a common injury from a client’s knee hitting the dash of a vehicle at impact. Many of my clients undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair the injury. Be sure to discuss the pros and cons of the Menaflex, and do your own research, before consenting to its use.
Ms. Filutowski has a track record of recovering over $3.0 million dollars for her clients through negotiations, arbitrations, mediations and trial.
