Syracuse Product Liability Lawyers Bottar Law, PLLC HomeWhy Have I Been Diagnosed With Metallosis?
DePuy hip implants may cause a serious condition known as metallosis. Metallosis occurs when the metal-on-metal movement of a hip ball and socket causes friction and the eventual release of metal particles into the joint, surrounding tissue, and bloodstream. At high levels, cobalt and chromium can cause rashes and nerve damage.
According to a recent British study, 22 of 660 patients (3.4%) who received DePuy ASR hip implants experienced adverse reactions to metallic particles. A study of 155 patients who received a competitor's hip implant did not reveal similar reactions.
