Hip Replacement Recall - Hip Recall Help Team Provides Free Report with Answers to Common Questions

May 20, 2011 - PRLog -- More and more hip implant patients have been affected by a hip replacement recall - and they have lots of questions.  The Hip Recall Help Team is providing free information to help answer these questions.

Among the most common questions is what to do if one is caught up in a hip replacement recall.  And some patients are even wondering whether their implants are even involved because they have pain but haven't been informed by their surgeon.

Now, these patients can get some of that information at the Hip Recall Help Team's website, where they just started a series of Q&A articles at http://hipreplacementrecall2010.com/hip-replacement-recall-questions-answers/  They can also get a free special report that will help them avoid costly errors as they try to get compensation for their injuries.

Hip replacement surgery is a major procedure with a lengthy recovery period even under the best of circumstances.  Yet when the implant gets recalled, more surgery is usually necessary to replace it, and since many of those implants have caused damage in the meantime, that second procedure could require an even longer rehabilitation period.

And with an aging population, hip replacement surgery is becoming more and more common.  And during the last few years, almost a hundred thousand patients have received hip implants that are affected by the various recalls, including the DePuy hip implant recall, the Zimmer hip replacement recall, and the Stryker Trident recall.

According to attorney Richard Cranwell and to Robert M. Clarke, members of the Hip Recall Help Team, it is vitally important for patients to be well informed, and to get competent legal advice, and get it quickly.

"Speed is important, because of statutes of limitation," Clarke says.  "In addition, it is crucial to keep proper records about your case, so make sure you have copies of all your medical records and keep them in a safe place."

What if someone isn't sure whether their hip implant has been recalled?  

Clarke urges anyone who has had a hip replacement procedure and is still in pain, months or even years after the surgery, to get medical help as well as legal advice.

"The most important part is to avoid the seven biggest mistakes that have derailed many medical malpractice cases," Clarke adds. "One of them is waiting too long to get help.  And in our free special report, we'll also tell you what the others are, and how to avoid them."

The free-of-charge Hip Replacement Recall report on how to avoid those costly seven mistakes is available for download from the following website:  http://www.hipreplacementrecall2010.com  

Anyone who requests the report will also have an opportunity to request a free evaluation of their case, and, if they qualify, they will be eligible for free legal by a competent team of lawyers.
