Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Hip Metallosis Lawyers & Lawsuits

Stryker Hip Settlement Alert for Milwaukee, Wisconsin Residents - there has been a 1.4 billion dollar settlement in the Stryker Hip Implant MDL. Please take the time to get fully informed about the Stryker Master Settlement Agreement.


Milwaukee, Wisconsin Stryker ABGII Hip Statute of Limitations

If you are the recipient of a Stryker ABGII hip implant, you may have experienced Stryker ABGII hip chromium and cobalt poisoning symptoms or symptoms of metallosis. If you have such injuries, you must be aware of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin Stryker ABGII hip statute of limitations. While all states have statutes of limitations regarding the time frame for allowing consumers to file product liability cases, the amount of time varies from state to state. In the state of Wisconsin, you must bring action within three years of the date your injury occurs.

Unfortunately, this can be much more complex than it may sound. Perhaps you discovered your injury fairly soon after implantation, maybe it took longer for you to develop health problems associated with your Stryker ABGII hip implant, or maybe you attributed your symptoms to age or another factor rather than to you hip implant. Even if you have not yet experienced health problems associated with your metal hip implant, you could do so in the future, and therefore should speak to a knowledgeable attorney regarding your Milwaukee, Wisconsin Stryker ABGII hip statute of limitations.


Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Recall

The Stryker Rejuvenate hip recall, along with the Stryker ABGII hip recall, occurred in July, 2012. The DePuy ASR hip recall occurred in August, 2010. The manufacturer claimed the Stryker Rejuvenate hip recall was necessary due to a higher-than-normal rate of failure for the implant as well as fretting and corrosion, leading to excess metal ion debris generation. Prior to the Stryker Rejuvenate hip recall, Stryker issued an Urgent Field Safety Notification to surgeons and hospitals which detailed the potential dangers.


DePuy ASR Hip Dangers

There are a number of DePuy ASR hip dangers, including metallosis and chromium and cobalt poisoning. Patients who were implanted with one of these metal hip implants may have a risk of implant failure as high as 65% or more. This means that even those patients who have not yet experienced difficulties associated with their DePuy ASR metal hip could end up having serious problems down the line.


DePuy Pinnacle Hip Metallosis

While the DePuy Pinnacle has not yet been recalled, it is very similar in design to the recalled ASR. In fact, the ASR gained FDA approval based on its similarity to the Pinnacle. When the patient engages in activity and cobalt and chromium ions flood the body, DePuy Pinnacle hip metallosis can result. DePuy Pinnacle hip metallosis can bring severe inflammation, pain in the hip, thigh and groin area, deterioration of bone and tissue, total failure of the hip device and the necessity of DePuy Pinnacle hip revision surgery.


Stryker ABGII Hip Chromium and Cobalt Poisoning

When the tiny shards of heavy metals enter the bloodstream, patients can experience symptoms of Stryker ABGII hip chromium and cobalt poisoning. These symptoms can be quite severe and include:


·         Extreme fatigue

·         Dermatitis

·         Short-term nerve impairment

·         Liver necrosis

·         Tremors and seizures

·         Chronic headaches

·         Gastrointestinal disorders

·         Asthma and other respiratory disorders

·         Muscle atrophy

·         Rashes and changes to skin and nails

·         Neurological disorders

Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Revision Surgery

If you have received a metal hip implant which has led to symptoms of metallosis and chromium and cobalt hip metal poisoning, you may be forced to undergo Stryker Rejuvenate hip revision surgery. This surgery is considered much more dangerous—not to mention expensive—than the original hip implant surgery. Patients may be on the operating table as long as four to six hours, leading to excessive bleeding, infection and nerve damage. Patients who undergo Stryker Rejuvenate hip revision surgery may also have a recovery time as long as six weeks, causing them to be out of work, and out of a paycheck. Because the stem of the Rejuvenate is especially long, surgeons have likened removing it to removing rebar from hardened cement. In some cases the femur may shatter during Stryker Rejuvenate hip revision surgery.
