Stryker Rejuvenate, ABG II Hip Implant Settlement

Stryker Orthopaedics has agreed to provide additional compensation to hip implant patients who had hip implant revision surgery to replace their Rejuvenate Modular Neck Hip Stem and ABG II Modular Neck Hip Stem hip implants before Dec. 19, 2016.

This hip implant settlement program expands upon an initial 2014 settlement that covered patients who had a hip implant revision surgery prior to Nov. 3, 2014. According to the settlement website, more than 95 percent of eligible patients enrolled in the 2014 settlement program.

In order to enroll in the 2016 settlement program, hip implant patients must have registered or updated their registration information with the Claims Processor by Jan. 9, 2017. If you have completed or updated your registration, you must submit an enrollment Claim Form by Mar. 1, 2017.

In June 2012, Stryker initiated a voluntary hip implant recall of the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip implants due to the potential for fretting and corrosion at the modular hip junction, which may cause adverse local tissue reactions, pain and/or swelling at the hip implant site.

Numerous patients who received Stryker hip implants and required revision surgery after experiencing hip implant complications took legal action against Stryker. These hip implant lawsuits were consolidated into multidistrict litigation titled In re: Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation.

The Stryker hip implant settlement will resolve claims from hip implant patients who had to undergo revision surgery due to certain complications from the Stryker Rejuvenate and/or ABG II hip implants.

Who’s Eligible

To participate in the Stryker hip implant settlement program, you must have had an ABG II Modular Neck Hip Stem and/or Rejuvenate Modular Neck Hip Stem implanted in the United States (or at any U.S. military hospital) and have undergone hip implant revision surgery at least 181 days after implantation and prior to Dec. 19, 2016. The hip revision surgery must have been conducted related to one of the following reasons:

• An elevated cobalt level;
• An abnormal diagnostic scan related to the reasons underlying the voluntary Stryker hip implant recall; or
• Confirmation of tissue damage or pseudotumor related to the reasons underlying the hip implant recall.

Potential Award

Eligible claimants may be entitled to receive a base award of up to $300,000. Certain claimants may be entitled to additional benefits under the 2016 Enhancements Benefits Program.

Proof of Purchase

N/A. Claimants may need to submit medical records that document the type of Stryker hip implant they received, the types of hip implant complications they experienced, and the reasons they required revision surgery.
