Your Stryker Hip Implant Could be Defective

By Michael Phelan

According to an FDA Warning issued on November 28, 2007 and released to the public on January 15, 2008, some models of Stryker hip implants may be defective. The FDA has received numerous complaints concerning Stryker hip implants from patients experiencing fractures, pain, wear particles, fragments, and broached bones resulting in bone fractures. Many of these problems required revision surgery. This is the second stern warning issued in 2007 by the FDA to Stryker about its http://www.fda.gov/foi/warning_letters/s6627c.htmhip implants. The most recent warning letter followed an inspection by the FDA at Stryker's Mahwah, NJ plant which took place on June 12 and July 1, 2007.
