Frequently asked questions

What does a joint replacement expert witness do?

A joint replacement expert witness is a orthopedic surgery subspecialist who reviews records and testifies on hip and knee arthroplasty technique and complications. Their fellowship training carries particular weight when the disputed care falls inside this subspecialty.

Do I need a joint replacement subspecialist, or is a general orthopedic surgery expert enough?

When the care at issue was delivered by (or should have involved) a subspecialist, courts and opposing counsel expect a matching subspecialist. For general orthopedic surgery questions, a board-certified orthopedic surgery expert may suffice — we help you make that call at no charge.

How much does a joint replacement expert witness cost?

Subspecialists typically price at or slightly above general orthopedic surgery rates. Every Retain expert publishes a full fee schedule before you commit.
