Information on Defective DePuy Hip Implants
If you have received a DePuy hip implant, you need to be aware that nearly 100,000 implants from their company have been recalled. These defective implants can cause severe pain and suffering to the people who have received them. If you have had a DePuy hip implant, it is essential that you contact a Houston personal injury attorney from our firm today to find out if your implant is one of the recalled products. You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering and other damages .
Because these implants were designed in a metal-on-metal way, a lot of friction was generated between the parts, causing them to loosen and in some cases detach. This caused a painful situation wherein the implants were not attached to anything, but simply floating in tissue. Surgery may be needed to correct this problem. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor and an attorney from our firm, to get this straightened out:
- Pain at hip implant site
- Inflammation around the hip implant site
- Loosening of the implant
- Dislocation of the implant
- Bone fracture around the hip implant
There may be other symptoms and pain associated with this defective implant. If you have any of the above, or any other problems with your implant, it is essential that you contact an attorney today.
