Wright Medical Profemur Hip Implant Replacement Failure Lawsuits | Side Effects: Severe Pain and Discomfort, Unexplained Hip Pain, Difficulty Standing or Walking, Loosening of the Hip Implant, Failure of the Hip Implant, Unexplained Hip Pain

The leading law firm of Alonso Krangle LLP is currently investigating potential lawsuits on behalf of victims of Wright Profemur Hip Implant injuries. A number of U.S. lawsuits have already filed over injuries allegedly caused by Wright Medical Inc.’s Profemur Total Hip Implant System. According to these lawsuits, the Wright Profemur Z Stem was badly designed, resulting in a flexible hip stem that is too weak. As a result, the Wright Profemur Z Stem frets, degrades, fractures, or breaks entirely. These alleged defects cause Wright Profemur Hip Implant victims to suffer pain and disability, as well as the need for revision surgery within a few years of their initial surgery.

The defective medical device lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP rank among the nation’s top personal injury lawyers, and are committed to making sure the victims of alleged Wright Profemur Hip Implant injuries receive the justice they deserve. If you experienced pain and disability, or underwent revision surgery due to a defective Wright Profemur Z Stem, you deserve compensation from Wright Medical for your pain and suffering. By filing a Wright Profemur Hip Implant lawsuit, you may be able to obtain restitution for your medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. The defective medical device lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP are currently offering free lawsuit consultations to anyone injured by the Wright Profemur Hip Implant.

Wright Profemur Hip Implant Complications

The Wright Profemur Z Stem was designed to be used in minimally invasive hip implant surgery. Unlike other devices, it featured fixed neck or “stem” lengths, and interchangeable titanium necks to balance leg length in order to conserve bone mass and speed recovery. But lawsuits allege this design makes the Wright Profemur Stem prone to bending and breaking. When this occurs, patients will experience excruciating pain and will need debilitating revision surgery in order to have their device replaced. Symptoms of a Wright Profemur Hip Implant failure include:

  • Difficulty standing or walking
  • Unusual hip pain
  • Loosening of the implant device
  • Failure of the hip implant

In the vast majority of cases, Wright Profemur Hip Implant patients report that failures occurred during normal, every day use of the hip implant, and were not limited to situations when unusual stress was placed on the device.

Results from a 2009 report by the Australian Orthopaedic Association shows that the Wright Profemur Z femoral stem has a high failure rate. According the report, one in every nine patients who has received a Wright hip replacement system has experienced pain and other serious problems with their implants. The report also said that approximately 11.2 percent of all patients who have received the implant have needed revision surgery just three years after having received the device.

Like many defective medical devices that have made it to market, the Wright Profemur Total Hip System was approved by the U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) under its 510(k) clearance protocols. A 510(k) approval is permitted for devices that are substantially equivalent to others already on the market. Unfortunately, 510(k) approvals do not require human clinical trials, so problems caused by devices approved this way often do not become apparent until they have been on the market for several years. For years now, patient advocates have called on the FDA to reform or end its 510(k) program because it often fails to protect the public from dangerous and defective medical devices.

Strongly Recommend Alonso Krangle As a Highly Experienced And Respected Firm

I consulted a close friend and well respected lawyer in the mid-Atlantic region regarding my hip revision surgery due to a medical device recall. Without hesitation, he strongly recommended contacting Alonso Krangle LLP to discuss my case. In his view, Alonso Krangle possessed extensive knowledge and experience in the type of litigation my case required, as well the respect of those throughout the judicial field for their professionalism. Equally as important, their personal focus on each individual’s case gives the client a feeling they are their only concern. My friend’s assessment could not have been more accurate.

Although in New York, Alonso Krangle could not have been more responsive or accommodating if they were located here in Virginia. I cannot recall a single time when my wife or I called their office and did not speak to either Andres Alonso or David Krangle. They were always completely available and ready to answer any and all of our questions. Their advice and recommendations were always honest, sincere, and accurate enabling us to plan accordingly. Legal proceedings can be a long process, but we never felt left out or forgotten thanks to timely updates initiated by Alonso Krangle. In the end, everything turned out as Alonso Krangle estimated from the beginning. I could not have expected better personal attention or concern from a family member handling my case. As with my friend, I too, would not hesitate to strongly recommend Alonso Krangle as a highly experienced and respected firm that will treat you like family.

Dave Krangle Worked Restlessly On This Case Until We Won
I consider David Krangle as my attorney for many years now. Going back about 13 years ago my father was involved in a hit and run accident. David had gone the extra mile to win our case….. Mr. David Krangle worked restlessly on this case until we won the case. Since then, if anybody asks for a good attorney I recommend David Krangle with confidence. He has helped a number of my friends and relatives and they all appreciated his professionalism, prompt responses to any inquiry during case development, careful study of all details pertaining to their case. He treats his clients as family. Thank you, Mr. Krangle, wishing you a continued success, good health and prosperity.

Absolutely Instrumental in Helping Me Expose Medicare Fraud That My Former Employer Was Engaging In
When you have to fight Goliath you better call David. Dave was absolutely instrumental in helping me expose Medicare fraud that my former employer (one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world) was engaging in. Dave took the time to listen to my concerns and my evidence. He worked tirelessly to bring the best resources to table so that our case would be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted. In the end, the Goliath was defeated thanks to Dave!

Like To Express My Appreciation To You And Your Firm
I just would like to express my appreciation to you and your firm for assisting me with this matter. I am now a single mother of six children and I have been going through so much financial strife. I did not know how I would get school supplies for my children so I have been working two jobs to try to gain some extra funds. This is a blessing to me and my children. Thank you again for all you guys have done for us.

You’ll be in good hands!

I was involved in an accident and needed a good Personal Injury Attorney. A friend referred me to David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. After my initial phone conversation with David, I was confident that I found the right Attorney. David was not only extremely thorough, he kept me updated on every stage of my case. Most importantly, he was always available for questions and followed-up promptly. In most cases, the same day. Since there was a 3-hour time zone difference, I was very appreciative from a client stand point.

With his expertise and guidance, I had a successful outcome. I felt very fortunate that David and his wonderful staff represented me.

If you ever find yourself in need of expert legal advice and guidance. I highly recommend you contact David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. You’ll be in good hands!

Much much love to my favorite people in New York… and about 47 other states.

We were very fortunate to meet David Krangle
My husband and myself had been involved in a multiple vehicle accident 5 years ago. At that time we were given the name of Mr. David Krangle, attorney. It took close to 5 years of very diligent work for Mr Krangle to complete our case to everyone’s satisfaction. During those years of endless hours and hours of work that he put into our case yet whenever we reached out to Dave (as the years allowed us to call him) he was always available to us. His patience did seem endless. His professionalism in researching everything to make our turnout perfect for us was everything we expected and let us rest knowing things are following the right path. I know we were treated with the utmost respect from various insurance companies and other attorney’s because that was something Mr Krangle made sure of. In difficult times it can be intimidating to work with a professional but we were very fortunate to meet David Krangle who had the ability to share warmth and compassion with us during a trying time. Those are traits that we admired in David Krangle and are delighted to have worked with him.

I can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond for me
Great law firm. Highly recommend them and I’m so glad that I found them. Everyone from David Krangle to his staff were very caring and sensitive when it came to my case. Always kept me up to date with every single update and were there for me professionally and emotionally every step of the way. It was a very difficult time in my life but dealing with everyone at Alonso Krangle made it so much easier to get through everything. I can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond for me.
