(203) 333-3339 Stryker Hip Product Recall
Last updated Tuesday, November 21st, 2023
Recently, the medical technology company, Stryker, announced a recall of its Rejuvenate Modular Necks and ABG II Modular-Neck stem implants, as well as the LFIT V40 Model. I issued the recall after the devices were linked to high rates of fretting and corrosion at the neck junction, causing the patient serious harm. The Stryker hip recall has been very important for Stryker Corporation.
It is important to find out as soon as possible if you or someone you love has been the recipient of one of these defective devices. Although you may not be experiencing any symptoms from your Stryker hip device, you should call your doctor to schedule a simple blood test to determine if you have metallosis. Most patients who undergo surgeries understand that with every procedure, there will be a certain level of risk. However, hip surgeries are not generally high risk procedures. Unfortunately for some individuals, Stryker hip replacement devices have resulted in painful and dangerous side effects, including:
- Toxic metal poisoning (metallosis)
- Trauma due to weakened hip muscles
- Extreme pain
- Swelling
- Inflammatory reactions/infection
- Tissue damage
- Joint infection/dislocation
- Lung congestion
- Blood clots

In addition, many patients endure painful revision surgery to remove/replace the implant.
If you have been harmed by a defective hip implant, you could be eligible to pursue damages for:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Cost of replacement surgery
- Lost wages
- Rehabilitation
