When you went in for a hip replacement, you thought that your life was going to improve—not get worse! Sometimes, hip implants don’t go the way they should, and many times it’s because of the defective hip implants themselves. Manufacturers can be held liable for faulty or dangerous products that lead to serious injuries for you.
Metal-on-Metal Hip Implant Devices
In the case of metal-on-metal hip implants, patients complained of pain, broken and fractured bones, deterioration of joints, loss of mobility, metal poisoning, and many other issues. Sometimes, these issues become so bad that the hip implant must be removed.
