Ohio Defective Hip Prosthesis Lawyers
Wright Medical Technology manufactures a hip replacement component system that utilizes a long stem component designed to be implanted into the femur, while supporting the ball component that is supposed to fit snuggly into the acetabular socket of the pelvis. Because of the unique stem-and-ball configuration, the device is supposed to give orthopedic surgeons a wider range of options for making the connection between femur and pelvis at the correct angle for the individual patient's needs. Unfortunately, it has been estimated that more than 11 percent of the devices fail after a period of recovery and rehabilitation, owing either to the stem failure in the femur or improper alignment. The resulting side effects include swelling, chronic pain and misalignment of the pelvis.

FDA approval doesn't mean you don't have a case.
Many medical product manufactures try to shed responsibility by saying their products are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prior to entering the market place. FDA approval does not mean the manufacturer does not have the responsibility to warn surgeons, doctors and patients about potential failure rates and side effects.
