Pritzker Hageman attorneys have filed several lawsuits on behalf of patients who had Stryker Rejuvenate or ABG II modular-neck stem products implanted during total hip replacement surgery. Our Minnesota law firm has dozens of Stryker hip clients, most of them from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Massachusetts.
Many of our clients had their Stryker Rejuvenate or ABG II hip products implanted at the following hospitals:
- St. Cloud Hospital (CentraCare Health System);
- Immanuel-St. Joseph’s in Mankato, MN (Mayo Clinic Health System);
- Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, WI;
- New England Baptist Hospital in the Boston, MA area; and
- Newton-Wellesley in the Boston, MA area.
We are not suing surgeons or hospitals. We are suing the manufacturer of the defective products, Howmedica Osteonics Corporation, dba, Stryker Orthopedics. The lawsuits are seeking compensation for patients, including revision surgery expenses, other medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, loss of quality of life and other lawful damages. The goal of these lawsuits is to fully compensate our clients and thereby hold Howmedica (Stryker) accountable.
Many of our clients have had revision surgery to remove and replace the bad Stryer hip stems. We are seeking to fully compensate them for this surgery and the pain, suffering and loss associated with it.
Stryker Hip Recall
In July of 2012, Stryker issued a recall of Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck stems. The Stryker hip recall was prompted by reports of metallosis associated with the products. The metallosis (metal poisoning) was caused by chromium and cobalt ions in the Stryker products leaching into tissue, bones and blood surrounding the implants. This happened when the Stryker titanium stem rubbed against the Stryker chromium-cobalt neck, causing corrosion and fretting.
