Biomet Hip Replacement Lawsuits
According to court documents, nearly 600 Biomet hip replacement lawsuits are now pending in the federal litigation underway in Indiana. Plaintiffs in these lawsuits claim that the M2a Magnum hip can shed dangerous amounts of metal debris due to wear of its metal components, leading to metallosis, chronic pain, premature failure, and other serious complications that may result in the need for revision surgery to replace the allegedly defective hip implant.
Metal-on-metal hip implants, like the Biomet M2a Magnum, have been the subject of a U.S.
Food & Drug Administration (FDA) investigation since February 2011. On January 17, 2013, the FDA cautioned that these types of artificial hips appeared to be associated with higher rates of premature failure and revision surgery compared to those made with other materials. The agency has advised recipients of metal-on-metal hip implants to undergo metal ion blood testing if they were experiencing symptoms of hip failure. The FDA is also considering new regulations that, if adopted, would subject all-metal implants to greater regulatory scrutiny
Patients implanted with the Biomet M2a Magnum hip may be entitled to compensation if they experienced metallosis, chronic pain, early failure of the implant, or other serious complications.
