According to a warning letter issued by The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Stryker Corperation has manunfactured defective hip replacements, resulting in injuries to patients who have received implants. Some the complaints received by patients who were fitted with the hip implants include:

• Pain
• Diffuculty walking
• “Squeaky” joints
• Broken implants
• Bone fractures
• Uneven wea

In some cases additional surgeries were needed in order to fix the problem.

The Stryker Hip Implant component recall involves two hip replacement cups made at the company’s plant in Ireland. The voluntary recall came after Stryker Corperation received two stern warnings from the FDA concerning problems at it’s manufaturing faciltiies in New Jersey and Ireland. Inspections by the FDA raised quality issues with several products and specifically cited the firm’s failure to properly identify and correct recurring problems with some of its hip implant devices.
