Case Details
The hip replacement manufacturer Stryker announced a deal to settle thousands of lawsuits from injured patients. The company will pay at least $1.43 billion due to extreme health problems caused by the defective Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck stems, which caused corrosion and fretting.
Additional Notes
The corrosion may cause harmful tissue reactions in the hip area, which leads to pain and/or swelling. Other adverse effects can include bone damage, tissue death (or “necrosis”), or metallosis.
