Defective Hip Implant Claims

Certain hip replacement systems have failed early — corroding, fracturing, or shedding metal debris — and forced patients into painful revision surgeries.

What happened

Hip implants are supposed to last decades. Several widely used systems have not. Litigation has focused on, among others: Stryker Accolade, LFIT V40, and Rejuvenate components (corrosion at the neck-stem junction and metal debris); Wright Profemur (fractured modular necks) and Wright Conserve (metal-on-metal wear); and the Zimmer Biomet CPT femoral stem (fractures beneath the stem). Failure symptoms include groin or thigh pain, instability, inflammation, elevated cobalt/chromium blood levels (metallosis), and sudden inability to bear weight.

Litigation status: Hip-implant litigation is mature but ongoing — settlements have resolved many claims, while new failures continue to occur years after implantation. If your hip was revised, or your surgeon says it needs to be, your claim deserves a prompt review regardless of when the device was implanted.
