Have you experienced problems with your Stryker hip implant? Our lawyers would like to hear about your concerns. An increasing number of people with these replacement hips have complained to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has taken Stryker Corp. to task twice for its failure to fix the faulty orthopedic device.
The Agency noted that despite being aware of the many malfunctions of its product, Stryker hasn't addressed them. In its lastest warning, the FDA said: "Your firm continues to receive complaints concerning your Trident Hemispherical and Trident PSL cups that have failed to function and hip implant components with poor fixation which have required revision surgeries. This continuing problem reflects your firm's failure to prevent the recurrence of nonconforming product and other quality issues."
The latest warning letter released by the FDA indicated that the Stryker Corporation received multiple complaints from 2005 through 2007 involving devices that failed to work and hip implant components that had bad fixation. Some hip implants demanded that patients undergo a follow up surgery to fix the problem.
These problems also include the issue of terrible squeaking noises. Of that issue, the FDA wrote: "Your firm has failed to prevent the recurrence of squeaking noises of hip implants with ceramic bearing components which have resulted in revision surgeries due to implant failures (fractures, pain, wear particles, and fragments)."
