Unofficial site of the Sulzer hip recall
 |
Sulzer Orthopedics
recalled its Inter-Op acetabular shell for hip implants on December
8, 2000. Approximately 25,000 products and 17,500 hip implants
already in patients are subject to the recall. When you hear
of "recalls," you may think of cars, or tires, or appliances.
In this case it is a medical device that's been surgically implanted
inside the body. The recall of this hip joint due to the negligence
of Sulzer has compromised the emotional and physical well being
of patients after a difficult surgery. As of March 2001, there
have been 573 documented revision surgeries. At the end of March
2001, the number climbed to 748. The site is designed as a forum for patients with the recalled hip joint, to provide legal help and to provide information about the recall. In such tragic circumstances people should seek legal advice on how best to obtain compensation for injuries, medical bills and the pain, suffering and emotional distress associated with these defective products. The Sulzer Hip Replacement Legal Center can help. We are a national organization of attorneys specializing in helping victims of defective medical devices. |
