Deciding When To File A Depuy Pinnacle Lawsuit
DePuy Orthopaedics, a subsidiary of pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson, has been a trusted name in the medical device industry for over a hundred years. With the recall of the ASR hip replacement system last fall, the company is now facing litigation directed at the Pinnacle hip replacement system.Currently, Pinnacle litigation has been placed on hold until the May 16th hearing where the parties will argue over the appropriate venue for Pinnacle multidistrict litigation (MDL). Recipients of defective Pinnacle devices should know how to decide when to pursue a DePuy Pinnacle lawsuit.
DePuy’s Pinnacle hip replacement is categorized as a metal-on-metal device. Because it is equipped with a metal liner, this device differs from typical hip replacement systems that involve a synthetic plastic liner inside the socket part of the synthetic joint instead. During total hip replacement surgery, the upper part of the thigh bone is replaced with a metal ball as the hip socket in the pelvic bone is resurfaced with a metal shell and metal liner.
After the total hip replacement procedure, the patient must undergo a lengthy rehabilitation and recovery process that could take several weeks or months.However, there are sure signs of a defective device that affects not only this process, but the health of the patient. So, when should a patient who received a Pinnacle hip replacement pursue a DePuy Pinnacle lawsuit?
Over 1,300 complaints have been received by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning the Pinnacle device, with a significant number of these complaints focused on the device loosening from the bone, causing device failure. The main reason for the loosening of the Pinnacle device is due to a condition known as metallosis. The metal components of these devices are under constant friction, causing metal particles to be released into the bloodstream and surrounding tissue. Though further studies need to be done, the metal particles may also cause tumors, abnormal tissue growth, and increase the risk of cancer, stroke and other health problems.
In addition, other significant complaints include chronic, debilitating pain, especially if weight is placed on the affected hip, causing difficulty with walking. A Pinnacle device that is defective may potentially cause hip fractures and bone erosion.
Recipients of Pinnacle hip replacements that are experiencing any of these symptoms do have the option of pursuing a DePuy Pinnacle lawsuit.
