I recently read about a recall of hip replacement systems because patients suffered from pain and swelling. Apparently, some patients have filed a hip recall lawsuit against the manufacturer. I’m not very familiar with total hip replacement so I made a little research to satisfy my curiosity. I’ve heard a lot of different lawsuits, I even have a friend who sought the help of Texas truck accident lawyer but it’s the first time I’ve read about hip recall lawsuit.
I found out that hip replacement surgery is performed when a person has severe hip damage. The damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the hip joint and are replaced with artificial parts. This can significantly relieve patients from pain, and improve walking and other movements. Hip replacement is an excellent option for people with hip damage and pain. Those who filed the lawsuit claimed that they have experienced severe swelling and pain.

I’ve read many posts on this Johnson & Johnson hip replacement recall and I personally think it’s a very sad episode. A hip replacement failure can mean serious injuries for the patient, aside from the revision surgery that the patient will very likely face. Patients should attempt to be very watchful for certain signs that their hip replacement device is failing. For example, swelling of the hip area, popping or clicking, pain on a regular or chronic basis, loosening or implant dislocation, and even fractures are all fairly good signs that the device is about to fail or has failed. It’s good to know that a new registry is now set up to track problems with hip and knee implants across the United States in light of the recent 90,000 recall cases from Johnson&Johnson.
