Biomet Hip Lawsuit
Court documents indicate that more than 500 Biomet hip replacement lawsuits are now pending in the Northern District of Indiana. All of the complaints allege that recipients of the Biomet M2a Magnum hip suffered serious complications, including metallosis, chronic pain, and premature failure of the hip, due to shedding of toxic metal debris caused by wear of its metal components.
Metal-on-metal hips, like the Biomet hip replacement named in these claims, are the subject of U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) safety review, amid concerns that recipients of such devices may be at increased risk for bone and tissue damage, pain, implant loosening, and premature device failure. On January 17, 2013, the FDA advised patients with metal-on-metal hip implants to undergo metal ion screening if they were experiencing symptoms of hip failure. The agency also announced that it had proposed new regulations that, if adopted, would subject all-metal implants to greater regulatory scrutiny.
Victims of alleged Biomet hip replacement complications may be entitled to compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.
