Problems Caused by Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, metal-on-metal hip implants can cause such issues as:

• Infection
• Joint dislocation
• Deterioration of tissue around the joint
• Loosening of the implant
• Implant failure
• Metallosis

The DePuy Pinnacle® & Increased Metal Levels in the Bloodstream

With the DePuy Pinnacle® and other metal-on-metal hip replacement systems, metal ions from the implant may be released into a patient’s bloodstream, where they can cause serious adverse reactions. The FDA reports that it has been informed of cases involving problems with the nervous system, thyroid gland, and heart associated with high levels of metal in the blood.

The potential issues associated with the DePuy Pinnacle® are serious, and they could negatively influence your life in many ways.
