Multidistrict Litigation Implemented In View Of DePuy Pinnacle Problems
DePuy Orthopaedics was founded by Revra DePuy in 1895 with his idea for a splint made out of synthetic material instead of the wooden splints used typically to set fractures. The company has been able to build its reputation over the next 115 years as an innovator in the medical device industry, and has had the benefit of financial backing since its acquisition by Johnson & Johnson in 1998. Although DePuy is now a world leader in manufacturing medical devices, recent problems with the hip replacement systems have resulted in recipients pursuing numerous DePuy Pinnacle lawsuits with multidistrict litigation (MDL) to follow.
Following the footsteps of the DePuy ASR system, the DePuy Pinnacle hip replacement system is the most recent DePuy device to experience public criticism. The ASR and Pinnacle systems are both metal-on-metal hip replacement devices. Because they are equipped with a metal liner, they differ from typical hip replacement systems that involve a synthetic plastic liner inside the socket part of the synthetic joint instead. Because the metal components of these types of devices undergo constant friction, metal particles are released into the soft tissue surrounding the device or may enter the bloodstream.Build up of these metallic particles may cause the patient to suffer symptoms of metallosis.
The first signs of metal toxicity manifest as mental problems such as anxiety, depression disorientation, and irritability. Metallosis could also include typical signs of illness like headaches and nausea. Patients receiving defective devices and are experiencing any of these symptoms should consult with their doctor to properly diagnose this condition since the long-term side effects include heart failure and dementia if left untreated.
To date, there are numerous DePuy Pinnacle lawsuits being filed by patients that have suffered from the company’s negligence. Multidistrict litigation (MDL) has been initiated by an early plaintiff in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.The MDL process expedites litigation for multiple plaintiffs having similar claims against one defendant through the consolidation of pretrial procedures, such as discovery, into one action.
Recipients of the DePuy Pinnacle system that are experiencing pain or symptoms of metallosis may have a case against the medical manufacturer. DePuy has set aside as much as $1 billion in the past for those who have been affected.
