New York Hip Replacement Lawsuit Lawyer
When you go to the hospital for a hip replacement, you expect things to go smoothly and that you’ll feel better afterward. Unfortunately, some people end up with hip implants that don’t work well, causing more pain and the need for a second surgery to replace the implant.
Concerns with Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants:
Hip implants made of metal-on-metal have a higher chance of not working compared to those made of plastic or ceramic, especially in women. They can also release harmful metals into your bloodstream, potentially damaging muscles, bones, and even vital organs like the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, and nervous system. Signs of a failing hip implant include hip pain, swelling, limited movement, a grinding feeling, or a hip fracture. If you have these symptoms, talk to your doctor, and they may recommend an MRI to see if your hip implant needs replacing.
