June 13, 2012 - The Stryker hip recall in July, 2012, has many of those with a Stryker Rejuvenate hip device implanted in their body extremely worried about their future. As Stryker noted during the recall, the Rejuvenate and the ABGII were recalled due to a higher-than-normal risk of fretting and corrosion at the neck junction, leading to the excess release of cobalt and chromium ions into the body. These cobalt and chromium ions can lead to Stryker hip metallosis and cobalt and chromium poisoning.
