对于那些关节僵硬、疼痛或肿胀但想要保持积极生活方式的人来说，通常会建议进行髋关节置换术。人工髋关节置换系统由三部分组成：股骨头、模块化颈和股骨柄。不幸的是，我们发现 Wright Medical ProFemur 系统的模块化颈部组件的故障率很高。对于许多接受过髋关节置换术的人来说，在初次置换手术几年后，模块化颈部意外断裂。没有任何症状或警告信号表明人造模块化颈部会断裂。
修复模块化颈部骨折
If a modular neck component spontaneously breaks, it requires emergency surgery to remove and replace the hip. This process can be long and painful. It may require multiple surgeries in the future, a lot of recovery time, and the financial burden will be pressing. Additionally, if you have recently had a hip replacement with a Wright modular neck, there is a strong possibility your hip replacement system also has metal on metal parts, which could create more complications. If this is the case, a Wright modular neck fracture lawyer could guide you through an injury claim.
钛合金及钴铬合金
从 2000 年到 2009 年，Wright Medical 经销的 ProFemur 模块化颈是由钛合金制成的。在此期间，莱特医疗收到了模块化颈部故障的报告。作为回应，Wright Medical 于 2009 年开始分销和销售由钴铬合金制成的 ProFemur 颈。然而，尽管材料发生了变化，钴铬模块化颈在颈-茎连接处继续断裂。 2015 年 8 月 7 日，ProFemur Varus/Valgus 钴铬合金颈（零件号 PHAC 1254）因“意外的骨折率”从市场上召回。
