Stryker Hip Replacement Recalls: Timeline of Events

August 18, 2017 By Staff Writer

Stryker Hip Replacement recalls

In June of 2012, Stryker recalled its Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II modular-neck hip stems due to risks associated with fretting and/or corrosion around the neck hip stems which can cause adverse local reaction and/or pain and swelling around the hip.

What caused this recall and what happened since?

Let’s look at the timeline of events…

June 2008 – Stryker Rejuvenate Modular neck hip stem was approved by the FDA through the FDA’s 510(k) Premarket Notification program. Getting approval through the FDA’s 510(k) Premarket Notification program allows a company to avoid going through clinical trials for a product. The company just has to show that the product is substantially equivalent to another product on the market.

November 2009 – Stryker ABG II modular-neck hip stems is approved by the FDA through a 510(k) Premarket Notification.

May 2011 – Stryker was asked by the FDA  to do a post-market surveillance study because of the risks they were seeing associated with metal-on-metal hip systems.

June 2012 – The FDA’s Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Devices Advisory Panel meets to discuss concerns regarding metal-on-metal hip replacement systems.

June 2012 – Stryker recalls its Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II modular-neck hip stems.

January 2013 – The FDA issues a proposed order requiring manufacturers of metal-on-metal hip replacement systems to submit a Premarket Approval Application (PMA) showing the safety and effectiveness of the product instead of going through the 510(k) Premarket Notification System that the Rejuvenate Modular and ABG II modular-neck hip stems went through.

January 2013 – The FDA issues a safety communication stating that “metal-on-metal hip implants have unique risks in addition to the general risks of all hip implants.”

November 2014 – Stryker agreed to a 1.43 billion dollar settlement.

February 2016 – The FDA issues a final order order requiring manufacturers of metal-on-metal hip replacement systems to submit a Premarket Approval Application (PMA).

December 2016 – Stryker agrees to add additional patients to their class action settlement. Patients who had revision surgery prior to the November 2014 settlement are now included in the settlement.
