Symptoms of a Recalled Stryker Hip
The LFIT V40 is a metal head component used in various Stryker hip replacements.
You may have received this component in conjunction with one of the following Stryker hip systems:
- ABG II
- Accolade
- Citation
- Definition
- Exeter
- Meridian
- Omnifit
- Rejuvenate
- Reliance
- Restoration
The defect occurs at the point where the metal head connects to the stem of the femur. This is known as the taper lock.
A faulty taper lock can cause serious complications, such as:
- Loss of mobility
- Dislocation
- Inflammation
- Necrosis of surrounding tissue
- Metal ion poisoning
- Painful revision surgery
Patients should consult a healthcare provider about any unexpected symptoms following hip replacement surgery.
While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet advised patients of the recall, lawsuits against Stryker are underway and the time to file a claim for damages may be limited.
