You should definitely get a lawyer on that. If what @notimportant says is true about the german law then Fitbone should recompensate you for the implant replacement absolutely. Sueing Dr. Monegal is extreme and dirty but sueing Fitbone should be considered they false advertise with incorrect info stating their product either never fails or give a very,very low percentage failure rate yet there are several diaries here that had nail failure and thats only the nail failures that we know and is documented. Imagine all the people around the world that had Fitbone operated in them and failed. Dirty company. Shame the left leg has to play catch up.

First I thought only Fitbone was liable but I've learnt that the doctor is also liable for other reasons such as false advertisement about rate of implant failures and complications. There is also the issue of the fake PT. I investigated the name Claudio Favro and he isn't licensed to work as a physiotherapist by Colegie de Fisioterapeutes. In fact he doesn't have any university degree at all. In this case I also thought only this shady guy was liable but Helloworld posted here it was the doctor who recommended him and other patients told me he forced them to hire this unlicensed guy as a PT so he is also liable.

Maybe but the doctor is essentially only at fault on whatever happens in the operation room after that it isn't in his hands apart from supplying the patient on how he is doing,advice,and guidance of course.

If the PT u speak about is truly fake that's potentially endangering for patients that aren't educated about what to do themselves as far as PT goes but in the case of @helloworld since he was knowledgeable in what to do for PT he has no place in attacking this PT Claudio. Are you a ex-patient of Monegal? because u seem passionate about him in particular
But i think for the case of @helloworld he should definitely without a doubt do something about Fitbone neglecting him and not acknowledging his complaints. This can't go silenced.

I do not want to sue anybody!
I am very happy with my doctor, I was happy with my personal trainer Claudio and I still have to make a final opinion on Fitbone.
Nobody should want to sue, because suing is a lot of headache for everybody and if you are happy there is totally no reason to sue.

But if any of you wanted to sue any person for an unsuccesful LL, then going after the implant mannufacturer would be better. The implant manufacturer is liable no matter if it was negligent or not, while a doctor is only liable for negligence and that has to be proven by the patient.

Quick update on Fitbone:
1. I finally have been able to talk to the Fitbone company, Wittenstein; not with the representative that I had talked to before, but with the CEO.
2. He was finally able to answer all my questions.
3. About the compensation, which in my case would be low, a couple of thousand USD max., he offered for me to talk to the Wittenstein company lawyer,  which is great, as I really want to find an amicable solution outside court.

Couple of thousand USD? Bad joke!

As a patient I am responsible for all the bad consequences of LL myself.
Only for those consequences that result from a product failure and go beyond what should normally be expected from LL, is the implant manufacturer liable for.
In my case this damage, beyong what I would have without implant failure, seems to be little. In the case of musicmaker it might be a bit more.

A bit more? Bad joke too. This shady manufacturer should be exposed if they don't compensate adequately all patients with bad implants.

The Fitbone manufacturer is Wittenstein, a company that has been producing precision engines for over 60 years and has revenue of over 300 million and around 2000 employees.
So I would not call them "shady".
