California Hip And Joint Replacement Lawyers

California Hip and Joint Replacement Lawyers

Deterioration of hip joints, knees and other joints can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking, standing, or participating in daily activities. Arthritis is a common cause of joint deterioration, but it can be caused by injuries or disease. The answer for millions of Americans has been a total hip, knee or joint replacement. For 90% or more of these patients, replacement of the damaged joint by an artificial joint has provided permanent relief and allowed them to return to their normal activities without pain.

However, due to manufacturing and design defects in certain hip, knee and other joints, thousands of patients face years of debilitating pain and additional expensive revision surgery to repair or replace the defective artificial joint. If you or a loved one are one of these unfortunate patients, you owe it to yourself and your family to talk to an experienced hip and joint replacement attorney. You may be entitled to compensation.

Los Angeles DePuy ASR and Zimmer Durom Hip Lawsuits

The DuPuy ASR is a "metal-on-metal" hip implant in which both the ball and the socket are made of metal. This artificial hip was designed to be more durable than other types of hip implants, but patients have experienced pain and inflammation related to tiny metal particles that wear off of the joint and enter the surrounding tissue and even the patient's blood stream.

Other artificial hips that have seen unusually high failure rates include the DuPuy Pinnacle and Zimmer Durom cups. Patients with failed hip joints have to undergo one or more additional surgeries to replace the device. More than a hundred thousand of these defective artificial hips have been implanted in American patients.
