Florida Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Recall
Leifer & Ramirez is investigating hip implant injury cases involving the Rejuvenate Modular Primary Hip System made by Stryker.
Hip implants like the Rejuvenate system are used for correcting joint failure caused by a variety of conditions like osteoarthritis. The Rejuvenate system, released in February of 2010, is a modular system designed to re-create a patient’s original hip, involving both the head of the femur and the socket of the pelvis, with necks and stems composed of cobalt and chromium in the neck and a titanium coating on the stem.

Stryker announced on June 6, 2012, that it was recalling its Rejuvenate Hip System and stopping global production of the device indicating the product was prone to fretting and corrosion (wear and tear) and shedding of metal ions within the devices, which in some cases have caused:
- Pain and swelling
- Tissue damage
- Device failure
- Need for revision surgery
- Long-term disability
