According to a New York Times article, the volume of complaints regarding failed hip replacements may prove the metal on metal hips to be the largest and most costly medical device implant recall since Medtronic's recall in 2007. Many surgeons have stopped using metal on metal implants. But for many this comes too little too late. One metal on metal hip replacement recipient who was experiencing inflammation and pain, had her hip implant devices removed but it was too late. The metal debris had already caused such extensive tissue damage that she now ambulates with the assistance of a brace.
