Hip implants are intended to provide you with enhanced joint function and relief from pain. However, when the procedure is performed with a dangerous product – like the Stryker Corporation’s Rejuvenate Modular Primary Hip System – you may instead be faced with serious medical complications. When this occurs, our personal injury lawyers in Miami at Goldberg & Rosen will work relentlessly on your behalf – holding the manufacturer accountable and ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Complications
Since they’ve been on the market, Stryker Rejuvenate hip implants have been associated with a number of serious complications and injuries. The most common one is heavy metal toxicity, which occurs due to the corrosion of the neck and stem, which releases toxic metal particles into the bone, surrounding tissue and blood stream.
A very serious complication, heavy metal toxicity can lead to a number of serious issues, including:
- Kidney problems.
- Thyroid problems.
- Depression and other psychological issues.
- Rashes on the skin.
- Problems with vision and hearing.
- Cardiomyopathy.
Other complications reported by patients with Stryker Rejuvenate hip implants include:
- Osteolysis, or the disappearance of bone tissue.
- Fluid in the joint.
- Pseudo-tumors.
- Inflammation of the synovial membrane, also known as Synovitis.
- Bone necrosis.
- Hypersensitivity to metal.
Due to the serious issues associated with these devices, thousands of patients filed lawsuits against Stryker, seeking compensation for their medical expenses, physical pain, mental anguish and other damages.
In 2013, these cases were consolidated and in 2014 the Stryker Corporation agreed to pay $1 billion to settle the lawsuits of patients who had to undergo surgeries due to medical problems caused by their Rejuvenate hip implants.
If you or a loved one is experiencing complications from a Stryker Rejuvenate hip implant, you may be eligible to take part in this $1 billion settlement and obtain compensation for your injuries. During your initial evaluation with our legal team, we’ll work closely with you to review the facts of your case and help you determine if you’re entitled to recover damages.
