According to the Chicago Tribune, the 58-year-old lawyer recently underwent hip revision surgery, following a doctor\u2019s discovery of damaged tissue caused by corroding metal from his Stryker\u00ae Rejuvenate hip implant.Blankman is hardly the first victim of the Stryker\u00ae Rejuvenate. Over the past few months alone, several claims have been filed against Stryker\u00ae Orthopaedics, citing a variety of serious side effects and health problems; including metallosis (metal poisoning), dislocation or loosening of the implant, bone fracture, bone death, nerve and muscle damage, and other serious side effects resulting in risky, expensive revision surgeries.In fact, the Stryker\u00ae Rejuvenate and related ABG II Modular-Neck Hip Stems were voluntarily removed from the market in July 2012, with a spokesperson for Stryker\u00ae Orthopaedics citing \u201cpossible pain and\/or swelling at or around the hip,\u201d as the reason for the recall.The company currently offers some compensation for injured patients, including coverage for testing and removal of failed hip implants. Unfortunately, they have yet to offer compensation for long-term medical treatment, lost wages, pain or disability caused from problems associated with the faulty implant, resulting in an upswing of legal claims and lawsuits against Stryker\u00ae Orthopaedics and its partners.How does this affect you?If you or someone you know was implanted with a Stryker\u00ae Rejuvenate or ABG II Modular-Neck Hip Stem system, and suffered from health issues such as metallosis, dislocation or loosening of the implant, bone fracture or had to undergo a costly and painful revision surgery, you may be eligible for compensation.
