MoM Hip Claims Guide
How to file a metal-on-metal hip claim.
Confirm MoM Hip Implant
Obtain surgical records confirming you received a metal-on-metal hip implant. Identify the manufacturer and product. Common manufacturers include DePuy, Stryker, Zimmer, and Smith & Nephew.
Get Blood Metal Testing
Request blood tests for cobalt and chromium levels. Levels above 7 ppb are concerning. Very high levels (>10 ppb) indicate significant metal release and strengthen claims.
Document Complications
Gather medical records showing metallosis, pseudotumors, bone damage, revision surgery, or systemic symptoms like heart problems, neurological issues, or thyroid dysfunction.
Calculate Total Damages
Document all medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing treatment costs, and quality of life impact. Include revision surgery costs and future medical needs.
