Wright Medical Profemur Total Hip System Problems

The Wright Medical Profemur Total Hip System, designed and manufactured by Wright Medical Technology is a line of hip replacement implants. The Wright Medical Profemur Hip Implant lawsuits implicate a number of Wright Total Hip System implant components, including the:

Conserve Plus Cup
Conserve Total Femoral Head
Wright Modular Femoral Neck
Profemur E Cementless Stem
Wright Profemur Z Femoral Stem

Wright Profemur Z Stem shows 11.2% Failure Rate

Hip implants should last for at least 15 years, but data indicates that the Wright Profemur Hip Implant often fails within just a few years of implantation. For example, 2009 data from an implant registry run by the Australian Orthopaedic Association found that one component, the Wright Profemur Z femoral stem, manufacturered by Wright Medical Technologies (Arlington, TN), shows an 11.2% failure rate at the three year interval. This means that approximately one out of every 9 people who received the Wright Profemur Z hip implant experienced severe problems within a few years after their hip replacement.

Like so many other problematic medical devices, the Wright Profemur Total Hip System was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) under its 510(k) clearance protocols. A 510(k) approval is permitted for devices that are substantially equivalent to devices already on the market. Unfortunately, 510(k) approvals do not require human clinical trials, so problems caused by devices approved this way often do not become apparent until they have been on the market for several years.
