Bone Graft Claims Guide
How to file a bone graft claim.
1
Identify Graft Material
Obtain surgical records identifying the bone graft material used. This includes lot numbers, manufacturer, and whether it was allograft, synthetic, or BMP.
2
Document Complications
Gather medical records showing infection, failed fusion, or other complications. Lab results confirming infection source are critical evidence.
3
Check for Recalls
Determine if your bone graft product was part of any FDA recalls or safety alerts. Recalled products strengthen claims significantly.

Calculate Medical Expenses
Document all treatment costs including antibiotics, revision surgery, hospitalization, and ongoing care related to the bone graft complication.

Consult Medical Device Attorney
Bone graft cases require specialized product liability experience. Many attorneys work on contingency with free case evaluations.
