Four Medical Complaints Were Raised Against Stryker Rejuvenate

Another four complaints against the Rejuvenate hip replacement manufactured by Stryker were filed in Nashville, Tennessee. These complaints involve painful sensation and deposition of small metal fragments in the soft body tissues of the patients who have had hip replacement surgery. Stryker hip implant system was recently dismissed in July 2011. The legal counsels of Stryker are expecting a surge of medical claims after the recent product recall.

Complaining patients from Nashville, Tennesse are recounting there experiences with Stryker Rejuvenate. An injured patient from Tennessee went for a Stryker hip implant in 2003 and began to experience pain after the procedure. He claims that discomfort was initially felt and the soreness has worsened as time passed. He decided to discontinue his surgical check-ups few years after the implant and after many x-ray results. He stopped his post-surgery visits to the doctor when he was told that the soreness came from the scar tissue. Currently, his hip pains are worse compared to the time when he didn’t have the hip implant. James is worried that the pain will get more severe.

He learned that several other patients are also experiencing hip and knee complications. James is uncertain if the Stryker hip implant actually does have defects.

Another resident’s case is also hurting from his Stryker hip replacement, three months after he had the implant. He just learned about the withdrawal of Stryker hip implants after he visited his surgeon to ask about the pain he is experiencing. He added that the doctor advised him for MRI and a lab screening for chromium and cobalt level. Gerry is also not happy to have his hip implant removed for a secondary replacement.

Other patients like Suzanne has also been advised for a hip implant change. Her doctor informed her about the alleged risks related to Stryker Orthopedics Rejuvenate Modular Hip System, suggesting that this device can add more danger to her health. Patients could adversely develop metallosis, osteonecrosis of the direct bone femur, tumor, and cheesy necrosis. It is also indicated that Stryker Rejuvenate contain toxic metal. These allegations can be the ground evidence for a Stryker hip lawsuit.

George who had a full hip implant surgery in September 2010, wanted to receive medical compensation from Stryker. This is due to the infection and complications caused by the medical device.
