Birmingham Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants Lawyer

Though a once-common procedure, metal-on-metal hip implants have been linked with a number of serious complications in recent years. Patients have been known to suffer everything from inflammation to tissue decay to bone loss, often resulting in the need for revision or replacement surgery. In fact, the failure rate for metal-on-metal hips is so high, that many recalls have been issued by various major manufacturers.

If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries as a result of a metal-on-metal hip implant, the defective medical device attorneys at Hare, Wynn, Newell & Newton can help you hold the responsible parties accountable. Our attorneys are at the forefront of metal-on-metal hip litigation, and we have developed procedures to determine the manufacturer of your hip, as well as ways to perform blood tests to detect the presence of metal ions related to faulty hip implants, and ways to preserve explanted hips after revision surgery.
