Austin Hip Implant Lawyer in Texas
Metal on metal hip implants continue to exhibit real problems in hip replacement patients. The hip replacement manufacturers that comprise the industry are beginning to acknowledge and recognize a progression of problems caused by these metal on metal hips. Marketed to active patients as an improvement in range of motion and joint stability, these metal on metal hips in many instances are proving to do much more harm than good. In essence, the friction and corrosion caused by the metals rubbing together can cause significant and serious damage inside of patients. As the metals rub together, minute shards of metal chip away and deposit into patients soft tissue, bones and blood stream. This, unfortunately, can lead to catastrophic problems.
