Did You Suffer Hip Replacement Complications?

Hip Replacement Problems May Be Caused by Defective Components

In recent years, serious safety problems have been linked to a number of popular hip replacement systems, resulting in a higher-than-expected failure rates and other painful complications.

In recent years, manufacturers have introduced many new hip implant systems with only limited research and testing.

Although artificial hips are expected to last about 20 years, design defects may cause problems within only a few years, resulting in the need for risky hip revision surgery, and reduced life-expectancy for future hip implants.

In an effort to increase profits and promote “new and improved” technologies, manufacturers have introduced and sold certain hip implants without adequately testing and researching the design.

As a result, individuals throughout the United States have been unwitting test subjects, with unreasonably dangerous and defective devices implanted in their body.

Over the past decade, a steady stream of hip replacement recalls have been issued by several major manufacturers, and serious safety issues have been linked to other products. As a result, the hip lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. investigate cases for individuals who may have received certain components, including:

Hip Replacement Recalls

Stryker LFIT V40 Femoral Head

The Stryker LFit (Low Friction Ion Treatment) Anatomic CoCr V40TM femoral head is a hip implant component used in certain Stryker hip replacement systems, such as the Stryker Accolade and other implants.

In 2016, the manufacturer recalled Stryker LFit V40 femoral heads from the market, indicating certain components may have a higher-than-expected rate of problems.

Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII

In July 2012, a
Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Recall was issued, due to a risk that the modular-neck stem may corrode, fret and wear.

As a result of the alarmingly high failure rate, hip replacement settlements have been paid to compensate those who have experienced problems with Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II implants.

DePuy ASR Hip Replacement

The DePuy ASR was a metal-on-metal hip replacement, which was removed from the market in 2010. However, many individuals still have the implant in their body, which may result in metal poisoning, loosening and failure.  

Financial compensation may still be available through a DePuy ASR Hip Settlement if you or a loved one required revision surgery.

Other Artificial Hip Implant Cases

Metal-on-Metal Hip Problems

Many types of metal hip replacements have been plagued by reports of early failure, often within a few years after the device is implanted. Amid reports of problems with metal-on-metal hip replacements, several manufacturers have been forced to issue hip recalls or have essentially ceased marketing all metal hip designs due to safety concerns.

Other Hip Implant Lawsuits

Cases are also being reviewed for individuals who received other artificial hip replacement systems that have been linked to reports of problems, including the Wright Profemur Hip Implant, and the Zimmer Durom Cup, both of whose defective designs were linked to a number of catastrophic failures and caused a number of individuals to require revision surgery.
