Defective Hip Replacements
In The Last Five Years, Have You Had Hip Replacement Surgery?
Have you been in pain since the surgery? Have you noticed swelling in the hip area or had problems even walking? Or, perhaps you even had to have a second replacement hip surgery?
If so, there could be a very good reason; the hip replacement parts that might have been used during your surgery may have been defective.
My name is Mike Gertler. I’m a New Orleans Defective Product Lawyer and partner with the Gertler Law Firm based in New Orleans. And this law firm has helped a large number of individuals in Louisiana with product liability issues…. just like this.
I’d like to give you a brief overview of this hip replacement recall and explain what options you have if your hip replacement resulted in further complications – or you even had to have a second surgery.
Johnson & Johnson, the maker of the hip replacement system in question, just announced a recall on a number of the parts used for its artificial hip. And there are more than 93,000 people impacted by this recall.
It’s normal for a person to be in pain, see swelling in the hip and leg area, and have difficulty walking following hip replacement surgery. What is not normal is for these problems to continue for long periods of time, or to have such pain that you must repeatedly return to the doctor’s office.
In some cases, patients even required a second hip-replacement surgery to replace the first artificial hip.
These symptoms are caused by:
- A loosening of the implant because it does not stay attached to the bone;
- Fractures to the bone around the implant because the implant moved around; and
- A dislocation of the artificial joint, which can prevent you from even walking.
