New York attorney Scott Harford of Lynch Daskal Emery talks about how hip replacement devices may be causing metal poisoning in your body.
When a patient has a hip replacement device installed, it is to help move the body in a natural way. The device forms a ball and cup action with the femoral head and stem. A manufacturer of one such product, DePuy Orthopedics, has actually been the subject of several studies involving a higher than expected failure rate of their hip replacement device. They had to warn surgeons of this possibility and the product has actually been banned in Australia in 2009.
