1Opinion of the Court
Sykes, Circuit Judge.
*749Theodore Joas underwent a total knee replacement at a Wisconsin hospital and received a Zimmer NexGen Flex knee implant. Within a few years, he began experiencing pain in his new knee. X-rays confirmed that the implant had loosened and required a surgical fix. Joas brought a panoply of claims against Zimmer, Inc., the implant manufacturer. His case was transferred to a multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of Illinois, where it was eventually treated as a bellwether case. Applying Wisconsin law, the presiding judge entered summary judgment for Zimmer.
