Wright & Schulte LLC, an experienced medical device injury law firm, reports that Stryker hip replacement lawsuits are now moving forward in consolidated litigations at both the state and federal level. Court records show that at least 161 Stryker hip lawsuits filed after the July 2012 announcement of the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stem recall are now pending in Bergen County Superior Court, where they have been consolidated for coordinated pretrial proceedings. The next Case Management Conference in the New Jersey Stryker Rejuvenate hip lawsuit litigation has been scheduled for July 17th. (In re Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Stem and the ABG II Modular Hip Stem Litigation, No. 296)
At the same time, some 159 Stryker hip lawsuits have been filed in a federal multidistrict litigation in U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota. In a Court Order dated July 5th, the judge overseeing the federal Stryker Rejuvenate lawsuits designated an interim counsel to work on behalf of plaintiffs at least until the Court conducts its first Status Conference, which will take place sometime in August.

According to court documents, all of the Stryker Rejuvenate lawsuits pending in state and federal courts allege personal injuries due to the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems. Plaintiffs in Stryker hip lawsuits have allegedly suffered metallosis, necrosis, osteolysis and other serious complications. According to their complaints, many of these patients have undergone revision surgery to have their failing Stryker hip removed, while others will likely need revision surgery in the future.
According to the Stryker Rejuvenate hip replacement recall notice, the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip stems are prone to fretting and corrosion at the modular-neck junction, and can generate excessive amounts of metallic debris, placing hip implant recipients at risk for pain, swelling and adverse local tissue reactions. All patients affected by the Stryker Rejuvenate recall have been advised to undergo metal ion blood testing and imaging screenings, even if they are not experiencing problems with their hip.
