(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 18, 2011 ) New York, NY – Patients with Pinnacle hip complaints can receive a free case review offered courtesy of the attorneys working with Class Action.org. Potentially, patients experiencing problems after being implanted with the metal-on-metal DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup System may have legal recourse to recover compensation for damages. To receive a free evaluation of your Pinnacle hip implant complaints, visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-pinnacle-acetabular-cup-system.html and complete the no cost, no obligation case review form on the right.
In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics recalled the ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System after research revealed that more patients than expected experienced pain and other problems which required a revision surgery. While the DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup system was not part of this or any DePuy hip recall, patients implanted with this device have allegedly reported similar Pinnacle hip complaints. Like the recalled ASR hips, one version of the Pinnacle system is made of metal-on-metal components, which can reportedly release small metal particles into the patientÂ’s body as they wear. In some cases, patients with metal-on-metal hip replacements may develop an inflammatory reaction to these metal particles known as metallosis. In addition to hip metal poisoning, other reported DePuy Pinnacle complaints include hip pain, hip replacement loosening and hip implant failure.
Although a DePuy Pinnacle recall has not been issued, the attorneys working with Class Action.org would still like to hear from patients with Pinnacle hip implant complaints. Potentially, these individuals may be eligible for a DePuy Pinnacle lawsuit, which would seek compensation for medical bills and other damages. To have your Pinnacle hip complaints reviewed for free, visit Class Action.org and complete the no cost case evaluation form.
