Stryker LFIT complications associated with their V40 Femoral Head products have led a growing number of consumers to report issues with these implants and to take legal action against the company.

Stryker LFIT complications have led to numerous lawsuits from plaintiffs who allege that they were never warned about the potentially serious side effects and problems. Plaintiffs claim they were never told about the possibility of complications that could make it difficult for them to live their lives and therefore, had to suffer from the consequences.

The most recent Stryker LFIT complications lawsuit alleges economic loss, loss of services, loss of consortium, and personal injury as a result of the allegedly defective medical device.

The Stryker LFIT complications lawsuit says that the plaintiff could not have known about the injuries they could suffer, being tied to a device defect, until after the device was recalled from the market and the plaintiff became aware of this recall.

Furthermore, the plaintiff alleges in the Stryker LFIT complications lawsuit that they could not have known that they were injured by excessive levels of cobalt and chromium until after they had their bloodwork drawn.

Lawsuit Alleges Stryker is Responsible for Injuries

When a medical device proves to be dangerous and consumers say they were never told about the risks, the device manufacturer may be held responsible for the injuries sustained.

The Stryker LFIT complications lawsuit was filed on multiple counts, including negligence, manufacturing defects, defective design, breach of warranty, and breach of implied warranties.

There are many different types of Stryker LFIT complications, although plaintiffs may not realize it until the device has already been implanted. Those patients who received the Stryker LFIT model between 2005 and 2011 will be interested to learn that the device has been withdrawn from the market in multiple countries because of reports of complications and very high rates of failure.

There are many different components that make up a hip implant system, but reported complications and failures associated with Stryker LFIT parts prompted a withdrawal. Many patients who received this implant may still have it today.

Side Effects Reported by Patients with Stryker LFIT Devices

Some of the most common issues associated with Stryker LFIT complications include instability of the joints, dislocation, pain, inflammation, loss of mobility, revision surgery, noise coming from the implant area, broken bones, cobalt and chromium poisoning or toxicity, and difficulty standing or walking. When these failures occur, the person who has been seriously injured or has had to go through revision surgery may be eligible to file a lawsuit to recover compensation.

Anyone who has begun to experience unexplained problems may be eligible to get support through a lawsuit. Complications can affect a patient’s ability to live and work and might also lead to medical bills.

The Stryker LFIT Complications Lawsuit is Case No. 1:18-CV-10869-ITE, filed in the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts.
