Hi Gary. I had a replacement hip surgery about 3 years ago. Immediately after the surgery everything seemed to be ok so I thought the results were fine.
It is about your health – first and foremost. Get to a doctor so they can treat you and get better.
Now let’s address the potential legal issues here.
In the last few years, there have been hip implants recalled by various medical device companies.
The two biggest recalls garnering the most media attention were:
(1) DePuy Hip Recall. These hips were manufactured by the Johnson & Johnson Co.

The specific hips recalled were the DePuy ASR and some DePuy Pinnacle models.

On Nov. 19, 2013, Johnson & Johnson & its DePuy subsidiary announced that they will pay at least $2.5 Billion dollars to settle thousands of individual lawsuits.

The hips being recalled are the Stryker Rejuvenate Modular and the ABG II Modular Neck Hip Stems.

. Pain
. Repeated dislocations

. Revisionary surgery
These implants may also cause a potentially very serious health condition called Metallosis.
Here are just a few of the health issues people can experience from metallosis:

. Neurological issues
. Cardiovascular problems

. Thyroid problems
. Gastrointestinal disorders

(1) The voluntary recall followed the discovery that the devices are prone to “fret and corrode”

Well how do you know if you have hip that has been recalled?

In the US, medical device companies don’t necessarily keep a record of all the people that have received their products. On the other hand, many surgeons, who do keep records, should contact their patients that they know received a Stryker hip implant.
