DePuy Synthes Elbow Implant Recall
DePuy Synthes announced a recall for over 50,000 of their “Radial Head Prosthesis” elbow replacements in December 2016.
Elbow Implant Loosening & Failures
The recall was announced after 40 people were injured when their DePuy elbow implant loosened, dislocated, or failed prematurely. In most cases, revision surgery is the only treatment.
What is the problem?
The Schmidt Firm, PLLC is nationally recognized as a class action law firm, but we are not filing a class action lawsuit for people who were injured by a DePuy Synthes elbow implant. Instead, we are filing individual lawsuits for people who suffered the following injuries:
- Loosening
- Dislocation
- Surgery
- Bone fracture
- Limited flexibility
- Tissue damage
- Surgery complications
- Chronic pain
- Infection
- Hospitalization
- And more
About Class Actions
Class actions are useful when a lot of people need to file a similar lawsuit, but they can have disadvantages for individuals who were seriously injured by a defective medical device.
Why Our Law Firm is Filing Individual Lawsuits as Opposed to a Class Action
Instead of a class action, our lawyers are filing individual lawsuits against DePuy Synthes on behalf of people who were injured when their elbow replacement failed prematurely.
There is no excuse for a company that profits off selling a defective medical device. If you were injured by a bad elbow replacement, our lawyers may be able to help you seek compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost income, disability, and more.
