In 2010, a Smith & Nephew knee replacement recall was issued for nearly 40,000 Journey Uni Tibial Baseplates after several reports were received where the base plate broke, which could result in the need for the base plate to be revised or changed. If a broken base is left unrevised, it could lead to instability and premature wear.
Earlier this year, a study found that problems with the Smith & Nephew Journey-Deuce knee had caused that device to fail in 16% of individuals within 21 months and 39% of those who received the implant experienced bad results.

I had a knee replaced on 8/1/2011.
Rehab is done – yet still having issues.
It was a Smith & Nephew.
Since that time – I have terrible knee pain.
At times its a shooting type pain.
I need meds, brace and ice —at times to cope.
I had a Journey knee in 2007, and a revision in 2008. I still have pain and take daily pain drugs just to deal with the terrible knee pain. It even wakes me up at night as I move in bed with sharp pain. The Doctors have said its nerve damage, and nothing can be done about it?
