Stryker Hip Implant Recall Information Center Launches Website Concerning Products
According to recent statistics, the number of hip replacement surgeries in the United States has more than doubled during the last decade and is expected to continue along this trend throughout the coming decade. Having been at the forefront of the medical innovations industry since 1941, the Stryker company is responsible for the engineering behind a vast majority of the artificial hip replacements being provided to patients who are undergoing this type of surgery. Despite the numerous successful varieties of replacement joints being implanted, 3 of Stryker's metal on metal hip replacement models have been found to be faulty. Upon discovering this fallibility, Stryker initiated a voluntary recall of the models in question, including the Trident and, more recently, the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip replacements. In an attempt to ease the confusion among patients who may have received the malfunctioning units, the Stryker Hip Implant Recall Information Center has launched a website providing vital answers and counsel regarding these products and the necessary steps to resolve this matter.
