MU BioJoint hearings to take place Monday

Hearings for the University of Missouri BioJoint lawsuit will be held Monday morning.

Judge Brough Jacobs dismissed the university from a lawsuit over its BioJoint knee surgery in April. The surgery involves using tissue from human donors to treat certain knee issues.

Jacobs’ dismissal impacts a single count that names the university. Other counts against a doctor and a veterinary researcher who developed the procedure still remain.

But a lawyer representing a patient suing over the surgery has filed a motion to ask Jacobs to reconsider his order
