New Lawsuit Lodged Against Stryker in Illinois

A new lawsuit against the Stryker Orthopaedics was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois on September 4, 2013. The plaintiff Robert Rodene was implanted with the Stryker Rejuvenate device in November 2011. According to the plaintiff, the company failed to disclose the “risks and serious side effects” linked with the recalled hip implants of Stryker.

Rodene suffered from pain and discomfort in his left hip after his hip replacement surgery. Laboratory tests revealed that there was an increased level of metal ions in his bloodstream due to the hip device’s corrosion. With this, Rodene would need to undergo a revision surgery to remove and replace the device.

This lawsuit is among several other court charges filed against the company due to the safety issues of the devices involved in the Stryker hip recall.
