If you have experienced complications following surgery involving the CPT Hip System Femoral Stem, the matter was recently highlighted in a recent MHRA alert.
Patients with this medical device potentially face some risks, and The Group Action Lawyers are assessing the situation.
The CPT Hip System Femoral Stem is understood to be a medical implant used in hip replacement surgeries, designed to offer patients improved mobility and reduced pain. It is understood to work by replacing the damaged or deteriorated hip joint, providing an artificial alternative to help restore function. However, a recent safety alert issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has raised concerns over this specific implant.
The MHRA reportedly found that patients who received the device with a 12/14 neck taper could reportedly face an increased risk of postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures. This means that, following surgery, patients may be at greater risk of suffering fractures around the implanted femoral stem, potentially leading to complications, further surgeries, or extended recovery periods.
If you or a loved one have been affected by this, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. At The Group Action Lawyers, we can help patients to make claims as part of a group action lawsuit for such matters, holding manufacturers accountable for any proven physical, emotional, and financial harm caused.
Receiving the CPT Hip System Femoral Stem implant and experiencing postoperative complications, such as a femoral fracture, could result in significant pain, limited mobility, and the need for additional surgeries. For many patients, the complications potentially caused by this implant could impact their quality of life and long-term health. The MHRA alert confirms the increased risk of femoral fractures due to the 12/14 neck taper in the CPT Hip System Femoral Stem.
Patients suffering from postoperative complications as a result of this defective device may face:
Additional Surgeries: To correct fractures or remove the defective implant, you may require one or more revision surgeries, which can be invasive and painful.
Extended Recovery Periods: Additional surgeries or complications can prolong recovery, limiting mobility and affecting daily life.
Financial Strain: Medical bills, physiotherapy, and time off work due to complications can put a financial burden on patients and their families.
Emotional Distress: The stress and anxiety of facing more surgeries or living with ongoing pain can lead to mental and emotional strain.
