Rejuvenate/ABG II Hip Stems Risks & Side Effects

Patients implanted with the Rejuvenate or ABG II modular-neck hip stem have complained of side-effects commonly seen in patients implanted with metal-on-metal hip implants. While the Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck hip stems are not metal-on-metal devices, they contain some metal-on-metal components found in the modular-neck junction.

Patients have reported experiencing numerous side effects, including:

  • Loosening or dislocation of the hip joint
  • Tissue reactions at the site of neck junction
  • Development of pseudo-tumors around joint
  • Excess fluid in joint
  • Soft tissue necrosis
  • Severe pain and inflammation of the joint
  • Extensive muscle damage
  • Infection of joint
  • Metallosis
