Napoli Shkolnik has been at the forefront of the BHR litigation since its inception, and we are continuing our efforts by litigating BHR cases like yours.
The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing device (BHR) is manufactured by Smith & Nephew, Inc., a medical device manufacturer based out of Memphis, Tennessee. It was approved for use by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006.
Unfortunately, many patients who have had the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing implant are experiencing pain from metal corrosion, metallosis (metal poisoning) and other serious premature hip failures.
Patients have had to undergo further invasive testing by medical professionals for diagnosis of their hip pain, reduced motion and “locking” sensation after hip implant surgery. In some cases, full revision and emergency care was necessary to correct the issue(s).
