Has Wright’s Profemur hip device been recalled?

No. The FDA’s Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) has received 200+ Profemur fracture reports, yet they haven’t called for a Wright Profemur recall.

Wright Hip Failure Symptoms

Wright hips have unusually high failure rates, resulting from a variety of physical injuries & persistent health problems.

The most common symptoms of a failed hip replacement may include:

• Numbness
