Norfolk Law Firm Kalfus & Nachman Accepting Stryker Hip Replacement Cases

    NORFOLK, VA, November 24, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Norfolk defective products lawyers of Kalfus & Nachman are now accepting Stryker Hip replacement cases. Stryker recalled two hip replacement models sold between 2009 and 2012, following thousands of patient complaints of injuries due to the devices. Kalfus & Nachman are offering free consultations to anyone injured and in need of medical compensation.

The Stryker device underwent a study and showed loosening of the implant or corrosion of the implant that can release metal debris into the body. Victims also had increased levels of chromium, cobalt and titanium in their blood, which indicates metallosis. Victims have reported several health concerns including:

- Body tissue touching the device, which may experience an Adverse Local Tissue Reaction (ALTR), potentially resulting in pain, necrosis or metallosis.
- Certain patients developed hypersensitivity or even allergic responses.
- Debris from fretting could lead to osteolysis.

"There have been countless victims due to the Stryker medical device failure," said Norfolk defective products lawyer Paul Hernandez. "We strongly encourage victims and their family members to contact our office to get the compensation they deserve."

To qualify for the settlement, victims must have undergone revision surgery prior to November 3, 2014. Stryker is reimbursing affected victims for testing, treatment, revision surgery - if necessary, and other out-of-pocket costs relating to this voluntary recall. The deadline to submit a claim is December 14, 2014
