Many patients who have had hip replacements develop no serious problems and benefit from well-functioning hip implants.
But compared with other hip replacements, some metal-on-metal hip devices have been found to wear down more quickly in some patients. The implants can cause tiny metal fragments/debris to be released into the joint, muscle and into the blood stream, resulting in bone and muscle damage, as well as neurological issues.
If you have been unwell or suffered pain or discomfort since having your hip replaced and you have a Metal on Metal (MoM) Hip Replacement, you could be one of the 50,000 patients who were fitted with potentially flawed implants and eligible to make a claim.
Even if you are unsure whether you have a claim for compensation, come in and talk with our Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement solicitors. We offer no win, no fee arrangements for most of our personal injury work. If we do not succeed in getting you compensation, you will not pay any legal fees.

The implants can cause tiny metal fragments/debris to be released into the joint, muscle and into the blood stream.
You may be one of these patients, if you had your operation from 2003 onwards and have suffered from any of the following symptoms:
