>>PRIOR POST (2/23/2008): Timeline of Stryker Trident Hip Problems
Stryker Trident hip replacements feature ceramic-on-ceramic parts, which are promoted as more durable and longer lasting than conventional metal-on-plastic or metal-on-metal hip replacements. However, a large number of patients who were given these implants have developed loud squeaking, popping, loosening of the components and other problems that they were never warned about.
The following YouTube videos posted by individuals who are plagued by squeaky hips caused by the defective Stryker Trident ceramic-on-ceramic hip replacement illustrate the problem:
In addition to the annoyance, embarrasment and inconvenience, these Stryker squeaky hip problems can cause an individual to suffer substantial injuries, potentially resulting in an inability to participate in activities they should otherwise be able to do, severe pain, loosening of hip replacement parts or the need for additional hip replacement surgery.

I had hip replacement surgery a few years ago. Immediately after my hip was squeaking so loudly it sounded like nail on a chalkboard. I told my doctor and he said he called the company and they said no one else has had that happen before. I was also in constant pain. Recently I had another surgeon go in to try and find out why the pain was so bad and the hip replacement apparatus fell out into the surgeons hands. So much work on my hip has caused nerve damage and my dependence on pain medication has caused hardships at work.
I was 46 when I got mine,tOTAL HIP replacement.I got out done the rehab and started to live again or so I thought The pain never went away.It got better but still there.I went to my Doc he said give it time,then it started.The squeeking the popping and it has never stopped.I have at the time a 31 year old wife and let me tell you no pillow behind the headboard is going to make that thing quiet.I work at a hospital the one I had it done at and I am constantly made fun of. I am getting sick of it.They call me squeeky.That is not funny when that thing is hooked to your ass 247.I want it fixed and I want compensation.Lets get it on….

I have had a squeeky hip for almost a year. I saw the ortho dr. last year says he has never heard of a hip squeeking, he did hear mine tried not to laugh. He asked me to wait one year later it is really loud I work at a Assisted Living Facility when I walk dow the hall with someone they look around for a squeeky walker. It has started to hurt but is not currently squeeking. I have a hip revision scheduled for April 12, 2011. Wish me luck
