Hip Replacement Lawsuits for Biomet Metal Hip Deterioration
Hip replacement lawsuits allege the risks associated with Biomet hip implants were not properly disclosed to the public.
Biomet’s M2a Magnum hip implants are metal on metal devices. As the artificial hip’s metal ball rotates around the metal socket, small amounts of metal can rub off.
Our hip implant lawyers handle cases of metal entering the bloodstream and causing bodily injury.
Injuries typically associated with a metal hip deteriorating in the body include metal poisoning / metallosis and organ damage. Moreover, corrective hip implant surgery is often required to treat these conditions and prevent further infection.
Hip Lawyers Assert Victim Rights in Court
Doctors were initially surprised by the failure of the Biomet metal on metal hip implant. However, hip implant lawsuits highlight alleged acts by the device manufacturer to conceal the implant risks. Accordingly, doctors and patients across the United States were left vulnerable to implant failure.
Therefore, if you have been diagnosed with metallosis or require corrective surgery for a Biomet metal on metal hip implant, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Judge hearing hip implant lawsuit issues Order to consolidate cases
Courts routinely consider issues pertaining to consolidation of nationwide hip implant lawsuits. Such actions are commonly taken in attempt to expedite court proceedings and resolution of claims.

Hip Implant Lawsuits for Smith & Nephew Metallosis
Hip replacement lawyers highlight the dangers of the Smith & Nephew Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) system.
These metal on metal hip implants subject patients to deterioration of the device after implantation.
Are you a fall risk?
As the device deteriorates, it can become unstable and result in an off-balance stance. A stumble or fall can result in further dislodging of the device from its base.
In addition, a second hip replacement surgery is often needed to rectify the problem.
Hip replacement lawsuits for metallosis & metal poisoning
Smith & Nephew BHR hip replacements are comprised of a cobalt and chromium femoral head and hemispherical acetabular cup. In the United States, the BHR system is available in a broad range of different sizes.
When the metal alloys of the Smith & Nephew implant’s ball and socket rub together, metal ions are released into the body. This can cause an infection including metal poisoning of the blood, and metallosis.
In recognition of this problem, Smith & Nephew notified hospitals and doctors to carefully monitor patients for these complications.
If metal deposits have accumulated in your blood, a hip replacement lawsuit can be filed to address these grievances. However, you must act within the Statute of Limitations time period.
The hip implant lawyers on our team represent these injury victims in claims for financial compensation.
Hip Implant Lawsuit Claims Smith & Nephew Design Defect
Our hip implant lawsuits argue that Smith and Nephew defectively designed their hip implant device. In addition, we argue that even if their design was safe, the warning labels issued to doctors and patients were inadequate. As such, plaintiffs claim entitlement to financial compensation for the failure of their implant device.
If your metal on metal Smith & Nephew hip replacement has resulted in metallosis or a need for revision surgery, you may qualify for a cash award.

Hip Replacement Lawsuit for Stryker Recall
Hip replacement lawsuits highlight the dangers of Stryker hip implants.
Stryker neck and stem hip implants have been known to become corroded. This can cause deterioration of the implant device inside the body. Moreover, corrosion of the metal hip implant can cause metal blood poisoning or metallosis.
Talk to an experienced orthopedic injury attorney today.
The Stryker implant’s femoral head is made of cobalt and chromium. When these substances enter the blood stream, serious medical complications can occur. Therefore, many individuals who received a Stryker hip implant in the U.S. undergo a second surgery to replace the defective implant.
Accordingly, the Stryker Rejuvenate and Stryker ABG II hip devices were recalled from the market in 2012.

Hip Implant Lawyer for Wright Medical Technology Litigation
The metal-on-metal design of the Wright Conserve hip system could allow deterioration of the implant as the metal parts rub together. This can cause loss of the structural integrity and a risk of loosening of the implant.
Further, hip replacement lawsuits allege some Wright hip implants contain a dangerous femoral neck design. Accordingly, the implant may be prone to crack or brake after implantation.

- Wright Conserve Hip Implants
- Conserve Plus Hip Implants
- Wright Dynasty Hip Implants
- Wright Profemur Hip Replacements
- Profemur Hip Stem
- Wright Lineage Hip Replacements
A defective design of the femoral neck for this system has been linked to a number of catastrophic failures, where a Wright Profemur hip implant may shatter or fracture.
Although the neck was designed to bend and be modular so it could be more easily adjusted for length, it appears to be particularly prone to problems.
