Biomet Magnum Hip Lawsuits

Compensation was previously pursued through Biomet M2A Magnum hip lawsuits due to the manufacturer’s failure to adequately test the metal-on-metal implant system or warn about the risk of early loosening or failure following surgery.

All cases were handled by our Biomet Magnum hip lawyers under a contingency fee agreement, meaning there were no out-of-pocket expenses and no attorney fees unless a recovery was obtained.

BIOMET HIP REPLACEMENT PROBLEMS

The Biomet M2A-Magnum Hip is a metal-on-metal hip replacement system implanted in patients across the United States. Although it was marketed toward active and younger patients, reported complications indicated the implant may be prone to failure within just a few years of surgery.

Unlike typical hip implants that combine metal and plastic components, the Biomet Magnum features three all-metal parts: a metal femoral head, metal taper insert, and metal acetabular cup. As these components rub together, microscopic metal particles may be released into the joint, potentially causing inflammation, tissue damage, and symptoms of metal hip poisoning.

Potential signs of Biomet Magnum hip problems included:

  • Unexplained Hip Pain
  • Swelling and Soft Tissue Damage
  • Unexplained Tumors
  • Difficulty Standing or Walking
  • Loosening of the Hip Implant
  • Additional Hip Revision Surgery

A significant number of individuals reported complications involving loosening, dislocation, wear, or implant failure, often requiring revision surgery far earlier than the expected 15+ year lifespan.

According to allegations in Biomet M2A Magnum hip lawsuits, the manufacturer was aware of these risks but continued to market the implant as safe and effective. Rather than issuing a recall, the company promoted the Biomet Magnum as superior to other systems despite emerging safety concerns.

BIOMET MAGNUM HIP CLASS ACTION LAWYERS

Research has suggested that metal-on-metal hip replacements like the Biomet M2A Magnum offer no added benefit over traditional implants, yet pose a higher risk of complications due to the release of metallic debris from the device.

Allegations in past lawsuits claimed that Biomet placed profits ahead of patient safety. As a result, individual injury claims and class action lawsuits were previously reviewed by the lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk on behalf of individuals nationwide.
