Hip Replacement Recall
  • carol July 2011
    Anyone who has received a hip replacement since 2003 should check with their surgeon which implant they have.
    The faulty hips were recalled in October 2010. The problem is cobalt and chromium in high amounts coming from the metal which is damaging the tissue and bone in the leg. Johnson & Johnson have a web site also as I myself have been involved with this problem
    I have set up a support group in conjunction with a local business who have offered their services free. For information and help please call 952933876
