‘Neurological issues’ over hip implant fault
Legal health specialists Malcolmson Law claim some of the 100-plus people, who have contacted them since the worldwide recall in August by DePuy Orthopaedics of two hip replacement implant products, were “starting to see neurological-type issues arising” such as “forgetfulness and other types of consequences”.
Managing partner Raymond Bradley said they were “on a learning curve in relation to what the effects will be”. He said some patients who had been recalled for assessment on foot of being fitted with the faulty implants have been given MRI scans “not just in the location of the hip”, but also MRI scans of the brain.
