If you or a loved one has suffered from a failed Stryker metal hip implant, you may be entitled to compensation. If you had your Stryker implant replaced, it is important that you contact us immediately as your time allowed to file a lawsuit may soon expire.
On May 22, 2018, Stryker issued a new “Product Safety Notification” informing persons who had a Stryker hip implant that the company has received a “higher than expected number of complaints” documenting femoral head/hip stem dissociation for certain sizes of femoral heads manufactured by Stryker. This notification expands the 2016 recall that affected over 42,000 L-fit V40 metal femoral head hip implants. On August 29, 2016 Stryker notified implanting surgeons that these implants have a “higher than expected” revision rate as a result of taper lock failures. Patients who have received one of these recalled hip implants should follow up with their surgeon.
