PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 26, 2012 (Press-News.org) Styker Orthopedics announced a massive recall of two of their models used in hip replacement surgeries, Rejuvenate and ABG II. The dedicated Philadelphia lawyers of Wapner, Newman, Wigrizer, Brecher & Miller are now offering free consultations to defend the legal rights of victims injured by the Strker's defective hip replacement devices.
Stryker Orthopedics stated they were terminating distribution due to a possible defect that could result in device failure, development of Pseudotumors, and other long lasting and permanent side effects. There have already been at least 45 accounts of patients reporting tissue swelling, pain and discomfort.
"Hip replacement is a major surgical procedure and it's difficult enough without having to deal with the negligence of a defective device. They had a responsibility to ensure their devices were safe," said Steven G. Wigrizer, principal partner at Wapner, Newman, Wigrizer, Brecher & Miller. "They have failed to live up to that responsibility and they should have to pay for pain and suffering that will be caused by their defective and dangerous products."
Wigrizer added that anyone who has had surgery, or who has a friend or relative that had hip replacement surgery using Stryker devices should consult a doctor and a experienced personal injury lawyer who is qualified in dangerous and defective product liability cases.
At Wapner, Newman, Wigrizer, Brecher & Miller, each case is assigned to a principal partner who has extensive experience in each victim's needs. They have fought for the rights of many injury victims throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. They have offices in Philadelphia, Conshohocken, Allentown, and Marlton.

Dividing a Military Pension in a North Carolina Divorce
2012-07-26
Deciding how to divide marital assets is a challenging step that must be completed before a divorce is final. This step can be especially challenging if one or both spouses is a current or retired military service member. If this is the case, it means that the couple's biggest asset is oftentimes the military spouse's retirement pension.
Because of this pension, the laws regarding its division, and other factors affecting military couples, a military divorce can be more complicated than a divorce between two nonmilitary members in North Carolina.

Review Finds No Reason to Continue Use of Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants
2012-07-26
After several years of patient complaints and product recalls, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel of health experts found that there is little reason to continue to use metal-on-metal hip implants in hip replacement patients.
Over the last decade, orthopedists have increasingly used metal-on-metal hip implants after early studies found the devices were less susceptible to wear than their plastic or ceramic counterparts. However, more recent studies and thousands of patient complaints have proved the devices actually have a higher rate of wear, leading to discomfort, ...
