Get a free shoulder pain pump lawsuit review for your possible chondrolysis (PAGCL) case when you complete the form below.

Chondrolysis is a severe type of shoulder arthritis in which the cartilage of the joint is abruptly lost after shoulder arthroscopy.

Chondrolysis is linked to the use of shoulder pain pump catheters placed in the joint after arthroscopy for post-operative administration of local anesthetic.

Research has indicated that a cause of postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis is shoulder pain pumps that malfunctioned after being inserted into shoulders following surgery.

A study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine addressed recent reports of postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL).

The study focused on 177 arthroscopic shoulder surgeries and found there were 12 cases of postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis.

Researchers identified shoulder pain pumps as a common factor. "Use of intra-articular pain pump catheters eluting bupivacaine with epinephrine appear highly associated with postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis," the authors concluded.

Some of the products under investigation are manufactured by Stryker, I-Flow Corporation (on-Q) and DJO Incorporated.
