Wright Medical Technology is a manufacturer of hip replacement implants. The safety of some Wright devices has recently been called into question by pending litigation and medical studies. Companies that make medical devices have a responsibility to American consumers. When their products fail and cause harm to patients, they should be held accountable.
Our hip replacement lawyers can help you seek compensation for the pain and suffering caused by failed hip implants and other devices. If your hip implant has been causing you pain, or if you have already needed a second surgery to replace a failed hip, you might be eligible to file a Wright hip replacement lawsuit. For more information, contact our hip implant lawyers today.
The Wright Medical Technology Profemur® Hip System has a modular neck which was originally designed to adjust for different leg lengths. This was intended to save soft tissue in the hip region from being damaged by the implant. However, the Profemur® Hip System design allows for potential bending of this neck component, which can lead to corrosion, fatigue and failure.
In addition to the unsafe design, claims also include that the company was negligent because it used an exception in order to bypass FDA required testing. Experts in defective product law feel that the manufacturer should have warned patients and healthcare providers about the risks inherent in the device.
There has been a Wright hip replacement lawsuit filed in Colorado on behalf of plaintiff Glenn Wollam. He claims that his Wright Profemur® Hip System failed because of a design defect. The lawsuit is seeking compensation for damages, including:
Results from a recent Australian medical study found that 11 percent of patients who receive a Profemur® Hip System will need to undergo revision surgery due to early failures.
If you feel you are the recipient of a defective hip implant made by Wright Medical Technology, you should contact a hip recall attorney. A qualified attorney can determine if you qualify to file a claim for your injuries. Contact us today to schedule an evaluation of your case.
