What You Need To Know About Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Implants

The Stryker Rejuvenate Modular Primary Hip System was designed to allow surgeons to customize the implant to match any patient’s unique anatomy. It is composed of a neck component and a femoral stem, both of which come in a variety of sizes. The neck is composed of heavy metal cobalt and chromium, while the stem features a titanium coating.

The system was most commonly used to correct hip joint failure due to:

  • Osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis and other non-inflammatory degenerative joint diseases.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis.
  • A functional deformity.
  • A prior failed hip replacement.
  • Fractures of the proximal femur.

In 2008, the Stryker Rejuvenate Modular Hip System achieved FDA-approval. However, it was with a provision that allowed the manufacturer to bypass the required pre-market clinical safety testing by demonstrating that the product is similar enough to another product that has already been approved.

Once patients began receiving the implants, complaints began to surface about serious injuries. As such, in April 2012 Stryker issued an Urgent Field Safety Notice for Corrective Action for the Rejuvenate modular stems and necks. In the notice, it updated the instructions for use of the Rejuvenate system due to the potential for corrosion and heavy metal toxicity. In June 2012, Stryker issued a voluntary recall of its hip implants due to the heightened risks associated with corrosion at the neck junction.

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.

From the first meeting of Brett Rosen (Goldberg & Rosen) I was impressed. Brett was respectful, kind and extremely knowledgeable. The second time we met he actually came to my father's house and talked with us about my father's case. I never imagined that he would actually come to the house. This action and the meeting that followed assured my father and I that Goldberg & Rosen was the right firm to handle our case. Our case did not make it into court for another 3+ years and like clockwork Brett or the lead attorney he appointed to our case would check it with us every few months.
