Michigan Hip and Joint Replacement Lawyers

Millions of Americans have found welcome relief from debilitating joint pain through joint replacement surgery. Joints damaged by osteoarthritis, injury, or disease can make movement very painful and difficult, but surgical replacement of damaged joints with an artificial joint allows the majority of patients to resume their normal activities free of pain.

Artificial knee joints and artificial hip joints are among the most common although orthopedic surgeons replace shoulders, wrists, knuckles, and other joints with prosthetic devices. Prosthetic joints are made of various materials such as metal, plastic, and ceramic and typically last 15 to 20 years. However, due to deficiencies in the design or manufacturing process, an unusually large percentage of certain types of replacement hips and knees are known to fail much sooner, often in less than five years.

Detroit DePuy ASR and Zimmer Durom Hip Lawsuits

Normally, the failure rate for a hip replacement or knee replacement is below five percent. However, studies have reported that patients who have received certain prosthetic hips or knees made by DePuy, Zimmer, Stryker, and other manufacturers have experienced much higher failure rates. These reports are supported by experienced orthopedic surgeons who have reported similar findings.

Failures in these devices include loosening of the device where it is attached or implanted in the bone, fracture of the bone, and failure of the device to bond properly. Some artificial joints release small metal fragments which inflames surrounding tissues. The result for patients is severe pain, swelling, inflammation, and difficulty walking or standing. A second painful surgery, called revision surgery, is needed to repair or replace the failed joint.
