Hip Recall Lawyer
IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS SUFFERING FROM ANY PROBLEMS RELATED TO A HIP REPLACEMENT, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP.
How can we help you?
As more and more Americans are living longer and healthier lives, they are “outliving” the ability of their bodies to keep the mobility that today’s people need and want.
HIP REPLACEMENT HISTORY
The surgeries and devices used in hip replacements have come a long way since the first first hip replacement surgery was performed in Germany in 1891 and from when they first began to be performed in the United States in 1940. The surgeries have become less invasive, the implants themselves have improved, and recovery times for patients have significantly decreased compared to when they were first performed.
HIP REPLACEMENT HORROR
Unfortunately though, as more and more Americans undergo hip replacement surgeries, more and more people are suffering from complications from surgeries and the replacement devices themselves. Innocent people who understood that they were going in for a routine procedure to improve their quality of life have had their quality of life dramatically compromised by these kinds of surgeries.
HIP REPLACEMENT RISKS
Even though many people who have hip replacements go on to lead better and more mobile lives, when this does not happen, people suffer and can be demobilized to the point of needing a walker or wheelchair. Some of the risks and problems associated with hip replacement surgery include but are not limited to:
Blood clots – Infection – Fractures – Dislocation – Change in leg length – Metal poisoning – Loosening implants
Hip Replacement Help
If you or someone you love is suffering from complications that have arisen after a hip replacement surgery has been performed, the replacement device that was used for your surgery may be causing you new and possibly more serious problems than the initial one you had a hip replacement for. If this has occurred, it is important to seek medical care as soon as symptoms arise.
It is important that you seek the advice of reputable and highly qualified doctors and specialists when it comes to trying to repair a bad hip replacement. You should not be in pain and unable to do things that you used to be able to do, and you should know in advance that that new medical treatment will not debilitate you even more.
An unfortunate reality that comes along with the pain and suffering of a hip replacement surgery that has not been performed correctly and/or one that a faulty device or implant was used in, is the negative impact of the costs that a patient and their family wind up suffering from as well.
Legal Help for Hip Replacements
If you or someone you love is still in pain after the standard recovery time for a hip replacement surgery, it may be in your best interest to discuss your situation with a personal injury lawyer who is familiar with hip replacement surgeries and recalls of medical devices that are used in them.
If you or someone you love is suffering after a hip replacement surgery, whether your surgery was just weeks ago or was years ago, you know how painful and debilitating this can be.
Any medical complication has potential to be expensive. An innocent person who is suffering from a bad hip replacement should not be financially responsible for the negligence of a surgeon, or hip replacement device designer or manufacturer, or anyone who may be responsible for the victim’s suffering.
