Indiana Hip and Joint Replacement Lawyers

Hip and knee replacement surgery has become very common. Orthopedic surgeons handle approximately 800,000 knee replacements and 250,000 hip replacements every year and these numbers are expected to continue to grow. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of other joint replacement surgeries including shoulders, wrists, and knuckles.

For the majority of artificial replacement joint recipients, these procedures provide relief from painful joints damaged by arthritis, injury, or disease. Damaged joints are surgically replaced with an artificial prosthetic joint made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. Following a short recovery period, patients can expect to return the quality of living they enjoyed prior to their joint deterioration.

As with any major surgical procedure, a small percentage of cases result in failure to achieve the desired results for various reasons. However, some recipients of certain types of replacement hip joints and knee joints have experienced significantly higher failure rates due to hip and knee joints that may have been improperly designed or manufactured.

Some hip and knee joints have been reported to fail at more than twice the normal rate due to flawed design or manufacture of the device. Joint failures can include loosening of the joint, joints that fail to bond to the bone, squeaking joints, or small bits of worn material that wear away from the joint and cause inflammation in the surrounding tissue.
