Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants: The FDA’s Latest Safety Communication

Last week the FDA issued the latest safety communication regarding metal-on-metal hip implants.

Is a Settlement in the Works for Victims of Defective DePuy Hip Implants?

According to Bloomberg, Johnson & Johnson may be in the process of negotiating a staggering $2 billion settlement with those who were implanted with a recalled DePuy hip implant, specifically DePuy’s ASR device. Johnson & Johnson’s fourth quarter earnings reflected the impact of the ASR recall lawsuits and the pending litigation for the DePuy Pinnacle as well. Thus far, over 10,000 ASR lawsuits have been filed by implant recipients who suffered serious health consequences as a direct result of the ASR metal-on-metal hip implant.

Symptoms of Cobalt and Chromium Poisoning Following Metal Hip Implant

If you are the recipient of a metal-on-metal hip implant, you may have been exposed to cobalt and chromium metals accumulating in your body. In the all-metal hip implants—or the implants which utilize a ceramic ball yet still use a metal liner—when the implant recipient engages in activity, the metal components rub against one another, creating friction. This friction releases microscopic metal ions into the body which will either travel into the bloodstream or will become lodged in the surrounding tissues.

Even the most conservative estimates point to as many as 7,500—or 3% of all those with metal hip implants—affected by cobalt and chromium poisoning and hip implant failure.

Do You Need a DePuyPinnacle Hip Attorney for Your Defective Hip Replacement?

Each day in the United States hundreds of people enter hospitals to undergo surgical procedures. Replacement hip surgery has become much more common among older Americans who want to continue to live an active lifestyle. In fact, there are over 400,000 hip replacement surgeries performed every year. Hip implants made their first appearance in the 1970’s, and these implants were made of a combination of materials, including plastics, ceramics and metals. The metal-on-metal hip implants were created in the hopes of giving patients more durability and years of wear from their hip implant.
