Few pains are worse than those that appear in the hips and prevent a person from walking comfortably. As a result, approximately 500,000 people in the U.S. choose to have a hip replacement procedure each year. Unfortunately, in some cases the result has been more pain than previously experienced. Having a hip replacement, as with any surgery, is a serious matter. Many of these replacements are successful, but many are not.

Two implants devices currently linked to early failure and other problems are the Wright Conserve Metal Hip Replacement and the Wright Profemur Hip Replacement. Both of these products have found to be defective, causing pain and suffering for the patient. In the Conserve Metal Hip Replacement device, it has been found that the metal on the implant can rub together causing the pieces to depreciate over time and even come loose.
People who have received Wright Medical Profemur hip implants have also suffered side effects, including metal poisoning, difficulty walking, pain in the affected area, bruising, swelling, and other side effects. The femoral neck of this device has fractured or shattered in some patients.
The Wright Conserve hip system consists of metal on metal and can cause metal ions to enter the surrounding tissue or bloodstream. Metal poisoning can cause:
- Nausea
- Fever
- Redness
- Pain
- Death
Swelling occurs when the hip joint and neck of the implant are incorrectly rubbing together. There can also be pockets of fluid and other injuries. As a result, Wright Conserve Hip Recall Attorneys who specialize in this area are seeking compensation for their clients.
There are numerous active lawsuits currently being filed by Wright Conserve Hip Recall Attorneys throughout the U.S. alleging that the manufacturer failed to adequately study and test the device, as well as failed to warn patients of its dangers. Because of these failures and the resulting patient suffering, Wright Medical Hip Replacement Attorneys are fighting for compensation for their clients.
