Many people with artificial hip joints certainly appreciate the enhanced mobility and independence gained from the devices. Without them, people with injured hips would be unable to perform many routine functions. But the design of the prosthetic and materials used has raised many product liability questions.
Sulzer Orthopedics has recalled more than 30,000 of its Inter-Op acetabular shell for hip implants. More than half of those devices — or roughly 17,500 — already were in patients.
If you have been injured due to a defective Sulzer Hip Implant, get in touch with the Law offices of Jeff Martin. We can help fight for your rights. Our attorneys have experience advocating for victims of defective products. We can make sure you get the full compensation you deserve and the negligent party is held responsible.
If you have a defective Inter-Op acetabular shell, you may exhibit some of the following symptoms:
Sulzer recently proposed a national settlement plan, but we believe victims may be entitled to more compensation. Patients who had two or more surgeries to replace their implants would receive $97,500, plus medical costs. People who had a single operation would receive $57,500, plus medical costs. Those who didn't require additional surgery would get $2,750.
Be aware that if your Sulzer implant is part of the recall, you are not required to join the national settlement.
