Four Stryker Hip Implant Lawsuits Settled
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, four patients who received defective hip implants from Stryker Corp. have settled their claim with the medical-device manufacturer for an undisclosed amount of money.
The cases were resolved last month. The four lawsuits were the first to be settled against Stryker by patients claiming to have received defective hip implants, which allegedly deteriorated after a promise of lasting for decades.
“More than 20,000 patients across the country received such implants before the device, known as Rejuvenate, was voluntarily recalled in July 2012,” the Post-Gazette reported.
