Defective hip replacements can cause catastrophic injuries — broken stems, metallosis, sudden liner failures, and the need for painful revision surgery. BFQ represents injured patients against device makers and negligent providers across Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Texas.
If you or a loved one received a hip replacement and later required revision surgery, suffered metallosis, experienced sudden instability, or endured lasting pain from the implant itself, a defective device may be to blame. BFQ investigates the surgical record, the device specifications, and the manufacturer’s regulatory history to identify every responsible party.
We handle these cases on a contingency-fee basis. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.
At a glance
Many modern hip systems have been linked to premature failure, design defects, or manufacturing problems. If you received one of the implants below and later required revision surgery or suffered serious complications, you may have a claim.
The main metal part of the implant (the stem) fractured, causing pain, instability, or the need for emergency revision.
Smith & Nephew Emperion stemsThe ball portion of the hip joint broke off or separated from the stem, frequently due to corrosion at the taper junction.
Stryker LFIT V40 headsA periprosthetic fracture occurred around the implant, requiring additional surgery or metal hardware for repair.
Zimmer CPT systemsThe plastic liner suddenly came loose or fractured inside the hip — not from gradual wear, but as an acute failure.
DePuy Pinnacle linersMetal components rubbed together or degraded, releasing cobalt and chromium ions into surrounding tissue and the bloodstream, causing pain, swelling, and tissue destruction.
Encore MoM · Omnilife Apex K2/Arc · Smith & Nephew Birmingham / R3 · Modular SMF / REDAPTThe bone failed to properly integrate with the implant, or the acetabular cup loosened, resulting in pain and instability.
Zimmer MMC systemsThe polyethylene liner wore out far earlier than expected — often between one and twelve years after implantation — leading to osteolysis and failure.
