Stryker Hip Recall Lawyer

Government agencies conduct investigations of metal hip implants for their complications and failure rates.

Metal-on-metal hip implant systems continue to cause problems for people. Because of this, Stryker made the decision to recall the Rejuvenate and the ABG II modular-neck hip implant stems because they are susceptible to corrosion and chafing. This can lead to painful swelling and infections. It has also been known to create soreness and cause the hip implant to fail. When this happens, the implants need to be replaced as has been demonstrated by the problems that people have had with other metal-on-metal hip implant systems. These other systems have been recalled all over the world because of their extremely high failure rates.

You may have received the Stryker Rejuvenate Modular Primary Hip System or the Stryker Rejuvenate Total Hip System as a hip replacement. If so, your replacement hip may have caused injury to you. If not, the possibility exists that these damages will occur. The first thing you will need to do is see your physician to obtain treatment for any problems that you are currently having. Your doctor can also inform you if you are at risk of developing any issues in the future. The second thing you can do is call a defective medical products attorney and have your case evaluated.

After the Food and Drug Administration or FDA learned that there were serious medical concerns with Stryker replacement hip systems, the agency initiated an investigation of these products. As a part of their review, FDA agents asked Stryker associates several questions. The agents believed that the responses were unsatisfactory and began an in-depth inquiry into the company.
