New York City Hip Implant Lawsuit Attorneys​

In 2001, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a statement that metal-on-metal hip implants needed post-market research to better determine if they were safe. One year later, they announced that research showed very little reason for medical professionals to continue using metal on metal implants due to the failure rate. And finally, in 2013, the FDA offered an official Safety Communication: “Metal-on-metal hip implants have unique risks in addition to the general risks of all hip implants.”

But even though the medical community has halted to use of metal-on-metal implants, thousands of patients are still living with the implants and thousands more have already had an implant fail.

These implants come from a variety of manufacturers, including:

• DePuy
• Stryker
• Biomet
• Wright Medical
• Smith and Nephew
• Zimmer
