Stryker Corporation and their metal artificial hips have been recently involved in litigation over their recalled products the Stryker Rejuvenate and the Stryker ABG II hip implant systems. These specific hip implants are made from metal which have been found to have dangerous safety defects; the metal rubs against metal causing corrosion. This has been seen to lead to painful side effects because the grinding of metal releases toxic metal particles into the body. These particles have caused crippling effects in many patients. For example, The New York Times reported “As surgeons here sliced through tissue surrounding a failed artificial hip in a 53-year-old man, they discovered what looked like a biological dead zone. There were matted strands of tissue stained gray and black; a large strip of muscle near the hip no longer contracted.” These issues have since lead to million and billion dollar lawsuits and settlements across the nation.
Legal Commentary
From a civil standpoint, our firm has represented numerous families who are the victims of the dangerous or crippling effects of the defective Stryker Corp. hip implants. If you or a loved one has experienced any of these problems because of the implant, we encourage you to consult with one of our Hip Implant attorneys as soon as possible. Although no amount of money can compensate for permanent physical damage, a successful civil claim pursued against the responsible party will ensure the victims are not burdened with costly medical expenses, and will hopefully help compensate them for their pain, suffering, and lost wages for time missed from work.
