Stryker Rejuvenate Attorneys at Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff Push for Cases to be Consolidated and Fought in U.S. District Court in Chicago, Illinois

Cobalt-Chromium Exposure: What Patients Need To Know Now

Hip implants have long been touted as a life-changing medical advancement designed to improve a person’s quality of life. However, in some cases patients end up in more pain and discomfort than they originally presented with due to toxic poisoning from defective devices. Unfortunately, thousands of hip replacement patients are discovering that, whether or not they have symptoms, their hip implants are releasing cobalt and chromium particles into their bodies.

The primary hips that have been associated with this complication include DePuy ASR, Stryker Rejuvenate, Stryker ABG II Modular, Biomet Magnum, DePuy Pinnacle, Wright ProFemur, and Conserve Plus.
