Steve Csengeri of Csengeri Law understands full well the shock and emotional turmoil that comes with finding out that a medical implant needs to be recalled. Not only do patients have to overcome the fear and discomfort associated with the initial implantation, they have to deal with the removal and replacement of the implant.

Steve Csgeneri of Csgeneri Law understands how difficult and frightening that hearing any kind of medical implant is at risk of malfunctioning or facing recall. He knows because he himself has been in that exact position. Steve personally filed and settled the very first claim against Zimmer for their defective Zimmer Duron Cup on his own behalf and has continued to represent clients who have suffered from the Duron Cup and other similar defective implants. Steve is proud to offer his clients his full attention and understanding of the physical pain and suffering they have undergone and is equally proud to fight to get them due compensation in court. This is why Csgeneri law is closely following the recent recall initiated by Stryker Orthopedics on the Rejuvenate Modular Hip System recall issued this past July.

Csengeri Law experts in defective medical device law have offered several insights into the July 6, 2012 Stryker recall. Both Stryker Orthopedics Rejuvenate hip implants and ABG II modular neck stem have been recalled. The recall measures are voluntarily in the light of significant negative post market data. After 45 adverse results reported to the FDA in 2012 Stryker posted on their website that the units suffered “fretting and/or corrosion at or about the modular neck junction, which may result in adverse local tissue reactions manifesting with pain and/or swelling.” At the same time lawsuits surrounding defective metal-on-metal hip replacement units are growing as the implants display increasingly more consistent repetitive corrosion and toxicity patterns.
