A claimant using the historical ordinary Biomet claim route.

Closed

The ordinary Biomet claim path closed January 26, 2026.

Claim deadline: Jan 26, 2026

A defined Special Claims Protocol claimant with a qualifying revision surgery, including a Late Index Surgery Claimant or a 12-16 Year Claimant.

Discretionary filing

A Special Claims Protocol may be available to defined claimant groups.

Submit the Special Claims Protocol claim within 90 days after the applicable qualifying revision surgery.

Hard cap: Mar 31, 2031

The Late Index Surgery route requires the qualifying revision surgery and the official protocol's causation criteria.
The 12-16 Year route concerns a qualifying revision more than 12 and less than 16 years after index surgery.
The 90-day window starts after the applicable revision surgery, not after notice, diagnosis, awareness, or another event.
The Special Claims Protocol is not a general late-claim route for ordinary Biomet claimants; the Metal Ion ordinary route is not currently actionable.
