The Status of the Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Lawsuits

If your are the recipient of a Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implant, you likely heard of the Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip recalls in July, 2012. Despite the fact that Stryker had marketed both devices as being safer than other metal-on-metal hip implants (due to the use of a ceramic ball) and much longer lasting that most all other hip implants, these claims turned out to be less than accurate. Shortly after the two devices were released in early 2010, adverse event reports began coming in to the FDA. These adverse event reports came from consumers and surgeons alike. In fact, several surgeons notified the FDA that they noted a substance which looked like “black rust” on Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implants removed from their patients.
