Previous Hip Replacement Recalls


The Rottenstein group offers legal representation to any and all who have had to endure the hardships caused by failed hip prosthetics. As more and more of these products get removed from the market due to flaws, the rise of those negatively affected by these recalls has paved the way for legal representation adapted specifically to handle medically-related personal injuries. This is why RLG stands for you, as a victim. If your hip replacement product has been involved in a recall in recent times, you stand to receive reparations for the damages these products have caused.

As of the present, a lot of hip replacement products have been recalled from the market due to flaws. The Zimmer Durom Artificial Hip had the unfortunate tendency to be loosened from its hold on the bone, causing pain to the wielder. As many as 12,000 Americans were affected at the time of the recall. The Trident PSL and Hemispherical Acetabular Cups created by the Stryker Company were recalled when they were found to cause fracturing of the supporting bone. After ignoring much of the reports by consumers of severe pain in the affected area, the FDA intervened, leading to their 2008 product recall. 

The DePuy Orthopaedics’ ASR XL Acetabular Sytem and ASR Hip Resurfacing System were pulled out from the market recently because of a design flaw that allowed for metal on metal contact between the moving components. Dangerous metal ions are released in the body unless the implant is removed with revision surgery. Those affected or are in possession of an ASR hip implant should check with their physician as soon as possible.

Negligently manufacturing of delicate medical products designed to improve the quality of life has instead lead many to more pain and trauma than before. Your doctors are aware of which prosthetic hips have been recalled in recent times. Consult them and know if you are entitled to payments from the makers of the product.
