The US Drug Watchdog says, "The DePuy Pinnacle Hip Implant is a metal-on-metal hip implant, and we think it is vital that every DePuy Pinnacle recipient understand the warning signs of a failure. At the same time we want to get every failed metal on metal hip implant victim identified to the best possible national caliber attorneys, or law firms. If you, or a loved one has had a hip replacement involving the metal-on-metal hip implant called the DePuy Pinnacle, the now recalled DePuy ASR hip implant, or any other metal on metal hip implant device that has failed please call us immediately at 866-714-6466." Symptoms of DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip implant failure include pain in the area of the hip implant, swelling in the area of the hip implant, lack of flexibility, loss of mobility, and elevated levels of cobalt in the blood stream of the recipient. Because DePuy Pinnacle hip implants were surgically installed on well over 130,000 US citizens, and because numerous studies are pointing to elevated failure rates with metal-on-metal hip implants, we are doing every thing possible to get every victim of a metal on metal hip implant failure identified, so we can make sure the get to the best possible attorneys." According to the New York Times on December 27th 2011, "The so-called metal-on-metal hips, in which a device's ball and joint are made of metal, are failing at high rates within a few years instead of lasting 15 years or more, as artificial joints normally do." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
