Industry-Wide Hip Failures Lead to Product Recalls

Hundreds of thousands of patients each year undergo hip replacement surgery. It is now known that several hip implant devices have been recalled due to unsafe product defects and adverse side-effects. Many hip implants contact erodes the replacement joint and can release metallic ions into the patient’s bloodstream. This causes a type of metal poisoning called Metallosis. Other problems include:

• Loosening of the Implant
• Joint Dislocation
• A Squeaky Hip
• Severe pain
