Many people today are undergoing different kinds of surgical treatments and hip replacement surgeries.

Besides osteoarthritis, trauma to the hip, kidney problems, congenital abnormalities, rheumatoid arthritis and necrosis of the hip bone are various other common causes that necessitate a hip recall surgery.
Stryker Corporation is one of the leading manufacturers of orthopedic implants. Over the past three years, there have been frequent patient complaints regarding defective hip and joint replacements from Stryker. Patients have complained about pain, difficulty in walking, uneven component wear, bone fractures, component breakage and discomfort.
Recurrent patient complaints resulted in FDA intervention in the matter and the FDA inspected the company’s facilities at New Jersey and Cork, Ireland. The inspections unearthed many problems, such as striking inconsistencies in manufacturing and quality control and instances of bacterial contamination. Despite the grave risk that these glaring inconsistencies can pose to patients’ health, Stryker failed to discover the source of the bacteria. In response to repeated FDA warnings, Stryker announced Hip Implant Recall of two of its parts used in the Trident line.
