Oh, No! Not Another Hip Product Recall!

The FDA Warns Consumers About Stryker Orthopaedics’ Surgical Product ‘Rejuvenate’

Johnson & Johnson’s DePuy ASR product was just recalled not too long ago only now to be followed by Stryker Orthopaedics’ hip product Rejuvenate. Both of these hip products were recalled for metal ion build up dangers. In April 2012 a warning to doctors, and distributors was released regarding the product Rejuvenate followed shortly after in August 2012 by an urgent FDA recall.

What are the symptoms of the defective product?

The FDA warning explains the junction of the surgical hip product is subject to fretting and corrosion leading to adverse reactions including bone dissolution, pseudo tumors, necrosis (death) of skin tissue, bone and muscle and inflammation of the synovial membrane.
