On August 29, 2016, Stryker Corporation issued a recall for the LFIT V40 series of femoral heads manufactured before 2011. These recalled hip “heads” or “cups” are commonly paired with the Accolade “stem” in a hip replacement. The LFIT V40 was recalled because of a high incidence of failures leading to patient injuries including loss of mobility, severe pain, painful inflammation, adverse local tissue reaction, such as scar tissue, which can restrict movement, joint dislocation (a feeling of being unable to move the leg that has had a hip replacement); joint instability (a feeling of restriction on the movement of the leg with the hip replacement), and in some cases, broken bones around the components.

You may be entitled to compensation

LEGAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE

UNLESS WE WIN YOUR CASE

Individuals who received a Stryker Accolade hip replacement may be at risk of fretting and corrosion, which can cause the failure of the metal implant. Complaints have been filed in New Jersey state court and they allege that the Stryker Accolade TMZF hip stem and LFIT anatomic V40 femoral head are defectively designed and manufactured. The Stryker Accolade implant lawsuit alleges that the device sheds metal particles such as chromium and cobalt into patient's bodies, resulting in metal blood poisoning (metallosis) which causes tumors and damage to tissue and bone.

Some other damaging effects of metal blood poisoning are Impaired kidney function , Thyroid problems, neck discomfort, fatigue, chills depression, cognitive impairment, rashes, Vision/hearing problems, and Cardiomyopathy (weakened or enlarged heart muscle)

Other potential hazards may include:

• Loss of mobility
• Pain & inflammation
• Adverse tissue reaction
• Dislocation
• Joint instability
• Broken bones
• Leg length discrepancy
• Need for revision surgery

The Stryker Accolade hip lawsuits are filed in the District Court of Massachusetts. These hip replacements were recalled in July 2012 over reports that they may corrode, fret and fail within a few years after surgery. Unlike traditional implants that feature a single femoral component, the Stryker Rejuvenate hip implant consists of two pieces that fit inside each other to allow the surgeon to customize the length of the femoral component based on the individual. This design has been linked to an increased risk of problems that may result from the release of microscopic metal debris as the chromium-cobalt neck rubs against the titanium femoral stem.

For people who have undergone the difficult process of hip surgery, discovering that their new device is defective can be truly devastating—financially, physically, and emotionally. Our attorneys can help.

Stryker hip implant lawsuits can recover compensation for the following: Medical expenses/hospital bills, Lost wages (past and future), Pain and suffering, or any other damages.

Our firm operates on a contingency basis, which means you do not owe us anything unless we win your case.
