Colorado Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Lawsuits

Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip multidistrict litigation is ongoing in New Jersey, Minnesota and Florida, with over 2,300 cases currently filed. Due to the sheer number of cases, the consolidation was necessary; bellwether trials and mediation are also being utilized in order to get through the cases more quickly. So far, seventeen Stryker cases have been settled through mediation, although the terms of the settlements are confidential. It is believed that plaintiffs received medical expenses connected with their health issues related to the Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip recall, as well as expenses associated with necessary revision surgery. Plaintiffs may also have received compensation for pain and suffering, loss of consortium and lost wages, both past and future. Stryker estimates the cost to resolve the cases through mediation and litigation will exceed $1.1 billion.

Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Pseudotumors, Metallosis and Metal Toxicity

When Stryker issued the recall for the ABGII and Rejuvenate in July, 2012, they cited fretting and corrosion at the neck junction and a higher-than-normal rate of hip failure. During periods of activity, the metal components of the Stryker ABGII and Rejuvenate rub against one another, causing tiny metal ions to shear away. These metal ions may land in the surrounding hip tissues or could travel to the bloodstream. Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip pseudotumors are usually noninfectious, non-cancerous space-occupying tumors in the hip region; research shows that recipients of metal-on-metal hip implants had four times the risk of developing pseudotumors when they presented with elevated levels of cobalt and chromium from a metal hip component. Pseudotumors can grow rapidly, and can cause bone loss and serious pain. Metallosis can occur when the metal ions burrow into hip tissues, causing inflammation, pain, deterioration of bone and tissue and total hip failure. Metal toxicity occurs when the metal ions reach the bloodstream and can be responsible for many adverse health disorders.
