Stryker Rejuvenate and AEG II Hip Implant Litigation
Forty-one lawsuits claiming injury against the makers of Stryker Rejuvenate and Stryker AEG II total hip replacement systems have been consolidated and transferred by the United States Judicial Panel on multidistrict litigation to the U.S. District Court of Minnesota. Stryker Orthopedics issued a recall of its Rejuvenate and AEG II modular-neck stems in July 2012. For those patients who received metal-on-metal hip replacements, they may file lawsuits against the manufacturers for money damages related to their injuries.
Some of the more common complaints of pain include those who suffer radiating pain into the groin and back. Others have complained about difficulty standing or walking and a necrosis of body tissue, bone and soft tissue damage. Because of the metallic substance in the blood stream, some of those with these implants have suffered metallosis, elevated cobalt or chromium levels in the blood.
In addition, recipients of the Stryker hip implant have suffered from implant loosening, destruction of cells, ostelysis, device failure, and the need for additional revision surgeries to correct or replace the hip implant.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
“We were devastated when our 31 year-old son was killed by a negligent driver. Kreisman Law Offices did everything to help us through this very difficult time, including coming out to the house several times which was a comfort. My wife and I were extremely pleased with Mr. Kreisman’s compassion and care for this very tragic and troubling time.” C.B.
★★★★★
“Bob Kreisman did everything possible in handling the trial of this case. It was devastating that I traumatically lost my leg above the knee in this truck accident. However, it was not an easy case to win. His staff was so prepared for the trial that it was not surprising that the settlement offers continued to rise until we finally accepted the multi-million settlement while the jury was still deciding the case. My wife and I were delighted that we could secure our future with this settlement. We thank Mr. Kreisman and his incredible staff for working so hard for our benefit.” T.P.
★★★★★
“My mother died because doctors dropped the ball. I called Robert Kreisman and he immediately set up an appointment for my entire family. We met at his offices and I was very comfortable that he would do the best for my dad and my brothers. He spent hours with all of us in preparing for depositions and he hired top notch experts, all of which contributed to an incredible settlement before trial. I know that he is dedicated to his cases and particularly to the people he works for and the people who work with him. He continues to be generous in contributing annually to my mother’s memory and to make known to the public the signs and symptoms of brain tumors.” V.S.
★★★★★
“My dad was ignored and mistreated at the nursing home that we placed him in. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we made a big mistake, particularly after my dad developed these terrible bedsores. We transferred him as we were contacting Mr. Kreisman. He was referred to us by a lawyer we have known for a long time and respect his opinion. Mr. Kreisman and his staff worked tirelessly to resolve this case. We were fortunate to have his services and will recommend him to anyone.” T.J.
