Connecticut Hip and Joint Replacement Lawyers

Hip and joint replacement has provided relief from pain for millions of Americans. Arthritis, disease, or injury can destroy a hip, knee, shoulder, or other joint. The result is severe pain and lack of mobility that makes it difficult to continue normal daily activities. Replacing the damaged joint with an artificial joint allows most patients to return to their normal, pain free life.

Some patients are less fortunate. When their hip, knee or other joint replacement surgery fails, they face months or years of continuous pain and repeated surgeries. In many cases, the failure of the joint replacement is due to a design or manufacturing defect in the device. Our Connecticut law firm helps patients recover compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages from failed hip and joint replacement due to defective joints.

Hartford DePuy ASR and Zimmer Durom Hip Lawsuits

Over 200,000 artificial hips are implanted every year in the United States, and some of these devices have had a much higher than average failure rate. In some cases, the manufacturer has continued to sell the devices even after the high rate of failure was well known.

Some hip implants that have been reported to have high failure rates include the DuPuy ASR, Zimmer Durom Cup, and Stryker Trident Hemispherical and PSL cups. The failures include failure to bond, loosening of the device, and squeaking in the joint. The DuPuy ASR hip replacement is a "metal on metal" device that is believed to generate small bits of metal debris that irritate nearby tissue and can even get into the patient's blood stream.

Connecticut Attorneys Who Handle Zimmer NexGen Knee Lawsuits

Certain knee implants also have a history of premature failure. The Zimmer NexGen knee implant and Stryker Genesis II and Profix II knee implants have been subject to recalls following reports that they have loosened causing pain and discomfort and requiring additional surgery to repair them.

If you had an artificial joint implanted that failed within a few years, you may be entitled to compensation. Call today to schedule a free consultation with one of our Connecticut attorneys and find out more about your legal rights.
