Stryker Hip Implant Lawsuit
Many people who utilised Stryker s Hip implant had many issues with their hip and spine. These issues were caused by a variety of factors. Many of them were not informed that there might be a chance that the device may cause severe pain and disability. They also experienced many painful hip replacements surgeries. By law, an Orthodontic manufacturer is legally responsible for a product’s design.
They are also responsible for advising their customers of potential side effects so they can avoid them.
A common problem suffered by Stryker users was a severe pain and/or dislocation after the completion of the initial implantation procedure. The patient would experience severe pain, while walking, and after sitting. These discomforts would sometimes continue after the procedure. Patients claimed that they could not perform daily or typical everyday activities because of this pain.
Stryker was found liable in the Florida State Court because of their failure to advise their patients of the risk of severe pain and disability following the surgical procedure.
They further failed to warn them that a rare but serious complication after the corrective hip implant procedure may occur. It is very common for minor skin irritations and mild fever to occur following a corrective hip implant procedure. However, more serious complications such as infection, abscess formation, or abscesses with pus, urinary blockage, necrosis, and other problems can occur if the patient is not properly cared for. The company also failed to inform the patient that the strike hip implants are actually a class II surgical device and do not fall under the category of braces.
Plaintiffs’ claim that the company acted with deliberate intent, callous disregard, extreme indifference, and extreme carelessness leading to permanent and debilitating injuries.
They further claim that since the operation was done, and they have continued to suffer from the injuries caused by the device, they are unable to fully enjoy the life they had prior to the surgery. The pain and suffering endured by the plaintiffs are often chronic, leaving them with limited or no daily functioning capabilities. In some instances, they are unable to even use their legs to go to the grocery store or go to work. The medical treatments required for corrective surgeries may cause further injury or discomfort, putting the plaintiff in even more danger of suffering further injuries from the apparatus than they were already experiencing.
According to the Straighter Line Medical Association, there are currently seven pending Stryker Hip Implant Lawsuit plaintiffs. There are several cases that have been settled out of court, but most of the plaintiffs in these cases did not receive monetary damages because they failed to go to court. This is the main reason that Stryker continues to deny liability, but is appealing the dismissal of their case.
One of the largest Stryker recalls ever occurred in 2021 when the company recalled all of its trident hemispherical devices, as well as all of the devices manufactured by its competitor AstraZeneca.
The recalled devices included the models 626 Ionithal, 626 Tridilator, and 619 EZ-Walk. While the recall did not mention any safety concerns, AstraZeneca recalled all of its models because of the “potentially serious and irreversible” side effects that it could cause its users. Some models contained metal shavings, while other contained metal shards that could embed themselves into internal organs and tissue. As a result of the recalled models and the shavings that could be found in them, thousands of people received metal shavings in their flesh, leading to severe tissue injury and infections.
The manufacturer of the Stryker Hip Implant has also faced numerous Stryker Hirers Inc. recalls. In one case, the recall resulted in the closure of the manufacturer’s facility in Thailand that was used to manufacture the abg ii modular-neck hip hinges. In another case, the company accidentally recalled the abg ii modular-neck hip implants to patients who already had surgical wounds, causing those wounds to be increased in size, thereby increasing the cost of the hip replacement surgery.
