In July, 2012, Stryker issued recalls for their Rejuvenate and ABGII hip implant devices, citing Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implant failure as well as Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip fretting and corrosion...

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.

May 21, 2014 - If you currently have a Stryker Rejuvenate hip implant in your body, then you are likely well aware of the Stryker recall which occurred in July, 2012. Although the reason for the recall was stated as a higher-than-normal risk of fretting and corrosion which could cause a release of cobalt and chromium ions into the body, it was later discovered that several other issues with the Rejuvenate existed as well...

Perhaps you are one of the thousands of victims of the Stryker hip recall, and are now worried about Stryker hip metallosis or chromium and cobalt poisoning. Or perhaps you have already suffered serious, adverse health issues as a result of your Stryker Rejuvenate. The Stryker hip recall occurred in July, 2012, after over sixty adverse reports had been sent to the FDA regarding problems with the Rejuvenate and ABGII.

On July 6, 2012, Stryker Orthopedics announced it was recalling its Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII hip implants and ceasing global production of the two models. Stryker hip attorneys note that at the time of the recall, the company stated there was a higher-than-normal risk of implant failure due to excessive fretting and corrosion. This excess corrosion was found to lead to a release of metal ions into the body. The tiny metal ions which settled around the hip joint resulted in excess inflammation in the area, pain for the patient, tissue and bone degradation, and even total hip failure. Some patients reported to their Stryker hip attorney that groin pain was also experienced.
