DePuy Pinnacle Problems May Include Early Hip Implant Failure, Metal Poisoning

(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 30, 2011 ) Orlando, Florida – Although a DePuy Pinnacle hip recall has not been issued, the FDA has received reports of problems with the metal-on-metal DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup System. Allegedly, severe pain, elevated metallic levels, and early failure are among the DePuy Pinnacle problems experienced by patients implanted with this device. Because similar DePuy hip problems were associated with the recalled DePuy ASR hip implants, the hip implant lawyers at Morgan and Morgan would like to hear from individuals experiencing complications from the DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup System. If you are experiencing DePuy Pinnacle problems, visit http://www.forthepeople.com/depuy-pinnacle-problems--11-2897.html and complete the free case review form to receive a no cost review of your claim.

A DePuy hip implant recall was issued in August 2010, but pertained only to the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and ASR Hip Resurfacing System; the Pinnacle hip was not part of this or any DePuy hip recall. However, it appears that other metal-on-metal hip replacements, such as the Pinnacle hip, may be prone to early failure and other problems. Due to design issues, some metal-on-metal hip replacements may release small metal particles into the blood stream and tissue as they wear. While this process is expected, some patients can develop an inflammatory reaction to the particles and may require revision surgery.

If you or a loved one has experienced elevated metallic levels or other DePuy Pinnacle problems, you may be able to participate in a DePuy Pinnacle lawsuit to recover compensation. While a DePuy Pinnacle recall has not been issued, implant recipients should be aware of their legal options. Visit ForThePeople.com to learn more about reported DePuy Pinnacle problems and to receive a free evaluation of your claim. This online case review is offered at no cost and with no obligation, courtesy of the hip implant attorneys at Morgan and Morgan.
