Consolidated Hip, Knee, and Ankle Cases

Previously, co-lead counsel won arguments to move all Florida Exactech hip, knee and ankle cases into a consolidated master case in the district.

Order Coordinating Exactech Hip Knee, and Ankle Implant Cases (Case No. 01-2022-CA-2670)

• The Order of Consolidation includes 54 cases that are currently pending and provides the opportunity to consolidate all Exactech cases filed in the Eighth Judicial Circuit of Florida in the future.
• Consolidation means efficiency, consistency, judicial economy and an efficient resolution since it should help the cases get heard quickly.
• With Exactech being a Gainesville-based company, it was logical to file these cases in the Court in Alachua County, Florida.
