Medical technology company Stryker has recalled their Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck stems hip implants due to concerns about possible “fretting and corrosion at the modular neck junction.” These problems with the hip implant can cause local tissue issues in the area around the implant leading to pain and swelling. Stryker does not recommend revision surgery for all individuals with the Rejuvenate and ABG II hip implants, but as with all implants, if you are having trouble with the implant area, see your doctor.
To determine if you have a Stryker Rejuvenate or ABG II hip implant speak with your surgeon or review your medical records.
You may be entitled to compensation from Stryker if:
- Your surgeon advised you to have the hip replaced
- You have high cobalt or chromium levels in your body
- You have significant pain or swelling in your hip
- You have a pseudo tumor at the hip

Back in 2009 Medtronic, recalled specific lots of “Quick-set infusion sets” that are used with MiniMed Paradigm insulin pumps. “An infusion set is a thin plastic tube used to deliver insulin from an insulin pump to a diabetes patient, and is typically replaced by the patient every three days.” Reference numbers MMT-396, MMT-397, MMT-398 and MMT-399 for the infusion sets are affected, bu only those with lot numbers starting with the number “8.” The problem that led to recall was that approximately two percent of “Lot 8” Quick-set infusion sets (approximately 60,000 infusion sets out of 3 million infusion sets with customers) may not allow the insulin pump to vent air pressure properly. The result is that the device will deliver too much or too little insulin and which would in turn could lead to serious injury or death.
