Board-Certified Texas Law Firm Representing Victims of Faulty Hip & Knee Replacements

Jan. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Vujasinovic & Beckcom, already nationally-recognized for their work defending Maritime, work-accident and personal injury victims, will be accepting all types of joint replacement surgery cases, including:

DePuy claims: DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a division of Johnson and Johnson, Inc., came under fire last year for inserting hip replacements with a high failure rate. After the recall of the company’s ASR XL Acetabular, multiple lawsuits were filed against faulty DePuy hip replacement devices in Texas.

Wright Medical Technologies claims: Vujasinovic & Beckcom recently filed a case on behalf of a man whose failed Profemur hip implant in Houston caused serious medical complications. Similar suits have alleged that the Profemur hip replacement device is defective and greatly compromises patient health.  

Metal-on-metal devices: In many defective hip replacement devices, the ball and socket of the joint are both made of metal. These are not only known to cause painful wear, but many were not thoroughly tested before mass implants began.    

Blood toxicity: As the defective replacement breaks down inside the patient’s body, metal from the artificial joint—such as flakes of cobalt and chromium—can enter the bloodstream. This can cause excruciating pain and require additional procedures to correct.

Unnecessary surgery: An artificial hip implant should last for over a decade. When defective hip replacements fail after a handful of years, patients will have to repeat the same painful and invasive surgery—an expensive and stressful procedure.
