The Encore Hip Implant was manufactured by Encore Medical, a Texas-based medical device manufacturer, and is now owned by DJO Surgical of San Diego, California. The Encore hip is designed with a metal insert on a plastic liner. When this metal insert grinds against the metal head of the femoral component metal debris is released which can cause metallosis and pseudotumors. Numerous medical patients have suffered painful injuries as a result of this device malfunctioning, and our New York defective hip implant lawyers are committed to helping the victims find the justice and restitution they deserve.
