Wright Hip Implant Lawsuit

Numerous complaints have been registered against Wright Medical Technology for marketing defective Profemur® Z hip implant device, which is reported to have a high failure rate of 11.2 percent. It has been reported that the hip implants fail merely three years after implantation – of every nine patients, one experiences problems with the defective Profemur device.

Patients complain that the main defect with Profemur® Z hip implant system lies with its flexible modular design, which means the neck can easily bend, degrade, break, fret, and ultimately fracture and fail. This creates problems for the patients, who experience stiffness in the groin and find difficulty in performing routine activities; difficulty walking or standing; and experience excruciating pain in the groin, thigh, hip, lower back. Most of the patients are required to undergo a revision surgery, which is even more painful and debilitating compared to the first hip replacement procedure. Surgeons, too, find it difficult to perform secondary procedure, which requires removal of the earlier implanted hip device and replacement with a new one.  A number of patients complain that the Femoral Stem or Neck broke while they were performing normal activities, causing them debilitating injuries.

Enbrel Side Effects Lawsuit

Enbrel Side Effects Lawsuit

Enbrel Side Effects

According to a public health alert issued by the FDA in April 2011, use of popular arthritis drug Enbrel can lead to blood cancer. Enbrel, trade name of Etanercept, is a TNF inhibitor co-marketed by Pfizer and Amgen in North America. Available in both powder and premixed liquid form, it was one of the most sold drugs in the U.S. market in 2010 with sales exceeding $3 billion. Enbrel is known to treat autoimmune disorders, such as plaque psoriasis, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, excessive inflammation, and ankylosing spondylitis, in adults and prevent damages to joints caused by these diseases. It helps in the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid and polyarticular idiopathic arthritis in children above 2 years of age.

The immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys its own cells in people suffering from autoimmune problems. Enbrel prevents this by reducing the production of a certain protein that helps the immune system fight invaders. However, such action by the drug leads to serious and fatal side effects. The decrease in the number of white blood cells caused by the drug puts patients at a great risk of fatal infections. Teenagers and young adults with ulcerative colitis are likely to develop a rare, fatal cancer, which affects the liver, lymph, bone marrow, and spleen. Enbrel has also been linked to night sweats, loss of appetite, breathing problems, rapid heart rate, jaundice, and

If you have received a transvaginal mesh implant, you might be at risk.

The Food and Drug Administration, FDA, has issued a warning regarding the risks involved in using surgical mesh implants, which are used to treat cases of pelvic organ prolapse. About 1,503 adverse event cases related to the vaginal placement of mesh have been reported to the FDA between 2008 and 2010. The FDA warning says that the risks outweigh the benefits of mesh implants, which are permanently implanted vaginally or abdominally to reinforce the vaginal tissue or wall.

The FDA review, carried out from 1996 to 2010, found that mesh implants used in transvaginal pelvic organ prolapsed repair posed a greater risk of pain, bleeding, and infection to the patient. Besides, women with such implants might even be forced to undergo additional surgeries or hospitalization.

Studies comparing mesh surgeries to non-mesh surgeries conducted between 1996 and 2010 have found that the number of adverse events has been constantly rising. Following the review, the FDA suggested that many patients having undergone transvaginal mesh implant surgery were exposed to additional risks compared to patients opting for POP repair with stitches. The first safety warning about the mesh implants came up in 2008 following increasing concerns about adverse events.

The federal body has received numerous complaints of adverse events associated with mesh implants, which include pain, bleeding, infection, erosion through the vaginal tissue, pain during sexual intercourse, urinary problems, and organ perforation from surgical equipment.

The latest FDA warning says patients undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse are at a greater risk than other surgical procedures. Further, the FDA has not found any improvement in the quality of life of patients who had undergone implantation of surgical mesh.

Patients have complained that they experience sparking constant pain around the area and have to undergo a number of surgeries to remove the mesh that eroded in their vagina. The FDA has not ruled out “serious complications” in some cases. According to the federal agency, nearly half of all women
