This recall that caused the filing of a lot of

hip lawsuits was due to the high five-year revision rate of the device. Data shows that 1 out of every 8 patients or 12 to 13 percent is subject to a second surgery or what is called the revision surgery.

Some of the patients who have been implanted by the defective hip replacement devices are experiencing various symptoms which include lingering pain, swelling in the area hip area, and difficulty in walking. Basically, these symptoms are expected to occur at some time after the hip replacement surgery, but if it continues to exist, or it came back, they are signs that there are some malfunctions in the device.

The only solution to this is to undergo the revision surgery, which means that the hip replacement equipment that was implanted on the body of the patients will be removed and another device will be implanted on your body. For the patients, this means extra pain extra effort and of course, extra expenses. That is why many of them are seeking to get the proper compensation they deserve from the manufacturing company of the defective devices.

Hip recall lawyers believe that the only way to be able to get proper and fair compensation from the manufacturing company of the defective hip replacement system that was implanted is to file hip lawsuits. Although the compensation that the patients get from the company varies depending on their condition, it is sure that the patients will be able to get the amount that would suffice for all the losses that they had.

All the patients who are subject to this recall are advised to act on their legal rights as soon as possible because there are some states that allows only a certain period of time for victims of defective products to take legal actions.
