Patients are at risk for suffering loss of mobility, dislocation, severe inflammation, severe pain, fracture and other injuries. Stryker warns these implants may give off excessive metallic debris, fracture at the hip stem trunnion, lose bone fixation strength, and disassociate the femoral head from the hip stem causing serious injury to patients.
