123130P.pdf   05/12/2014  Carol Mack  v.  Stryker Corporation
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3130
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Benton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Products liability. In an action alleging plaintiff developed chondrolysis after her surgeon implanted defendant's pain pump in her shoulder, the district court did not err in determining it was not reasonably foreseeable, based on the medical literature in 2002, that use of the pain pump in an articular joint would lead to joint damage; FDA denials of defendant's applications to use the pump in intra-articular spaces did not indicate to defendant that the pump was unsafe for such uses or that its use could result in foreseeable harm. Judge Bye, dissenting.
