Hip Recall Dangers

Our hip recall lawyers have the legal knowledge and experience to handle a variety of defective hip implant cases, such as:

Biomet M2a-Magnum

This metal-on-metal hip implant is prone to premature wear and failure that can cause painful side effects and the need for invasive revision surgeries.

DePuy ASR

DePuy voluntarily recalled the ASR Hip Resurfacing and XL Acetabular systems after data from the National Joint Registry for England, Wales and Northern Ireland showed significant percentages of patients requiring revision surgeries within five years of receiving the implants.

Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Devices

In 2012, Stryker Orthopaedics issued a voluntary recall on certain hip implant models after reports of fretting and corrosion that can cause complications, such as tissue death and metallosis.

Wright PROFEMUR and CONSERVE Hip Implants

Data shows that certain Wright hip implant models have higher-than-average premature failure rates, which may require further surgical procedures to correct.

Zimmer Durom Acetabular Component (“Durom Cup”)

In 2008, Zimmer voluntarily recalled its Durom Cup metal-on-metal hip implant because the instructions for use and surgical technique instructions were inadequate.

If you aren’t sure which hip implant device you received, you can verify the model by reviewing your medical records or a speaking with your surgeon.

Signs and Symptoms of Hip Implant Failure

Common symptoms of a failed hip replacement include:

  • Bone loss (osteolysis)
  • Dislocation
  • Hip pain or instability
  • Infection at or around the implant site
  • Loosening of the implant in the bone
  • Swelling and inflammation

It’s important to see your doctor or surgeon if you experience any of these symptoms, as they may indicate the need for corrective surgery.
