Americans undergo 250,000 hip replacements and 500,000 knee replacements every year. By 2030, researchers expect annual hip implants to double. In that same time frame, knee implants will likely increase to 3,500,000 per year. This growing trend means the number of defective joints will also increase.
The number of patients struggling with defective hip or knee implants is growing along with our aging baby boomer population. Osteoarthritis and other age-related conditions cause many patients to have hip replacement surgery, knee replacement surgery, or some other form of joint replacement.
Many people recover quickly and recapture the quality of life they had before undergoing the replacement. Others, however, are not as fortunate and may suffer from pain, swelling, limited range of motion, or other symptoms. A faulty implant may fail altogether due to a defect or negligence. When this happens, patients must undergo revision or even replacement surgery.
