Alabama Hip And Joint Replacement Lawyers
Alabama Hip and Joint Replacement LawyersHip and joint replacements are very common medical procedures. Every year, approximately 200,000 hip replacements and about 600,000 knee replacements are performed in the United States. For most patients, these joint replacements provide relief from joint pain due to injury, arthritis or other causes. Most patients can expect the replacement joint to last for at least 15 to 20 years. However, some patients begin to experience severe pain and discomfort in the joint after only a few years due to a defective hip or knee joint. These patients have to undergo another expensive and painful procedure, called a revision, to replace the defective joint. Birmingham DePuy ASR and Zimmer Durom Hip LawsuitsIn 2010, DuPuy Orthopaedics recalled its ASR hip replacement system due to a high failure rate of the devices. Studies have shown that the problems with the DuPuy ASR hip replacement are due to a defective design. The failure of the hip replacement device causes such symptoms as severe hip pain, swelling, and difficulty walking or standing. Many patients have also experienced problems with the Zimmer Durom Cup artificial hip and Zimmer NexGen knee replacements. Defects in the design and/or manufacturing of these products have caused thousands of patients to have severe pain in their knee or hip, an inability to stand or walk, and loosening of the device.
