While it\u2019s also advised that the hip systems be removed under certain conditions of pain or other symptoms, the FDA does not recommend removal of implanted Synovo Total Hip Systems, if patients find their hip implant is working and they don\u2019t have new or increasing symptoms or pain. If you were injured by the Synovo Total Hip System, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group to learn your options.

They are used together in the system. In 2022, the FDA found out that these three components had been significantly modified, such that it no longer followed the specifications originally improved by the FDA. It issued a warning to Synovo specifying the violations and telling the manufacturer it needed to stop making modified devices and act quickly to correct its legal violations.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA has specifically asked that providers not buy or implant the Synovo Total Hip System and warn they should remove from inventory all the Synovo Total Hip Systems including the Acetabular Bearing components, Acetabular Fixation Cup, and the Femoral Resurfacing Cup. Moreover, The FDA asks consumers to get in touch with their doctors if they experience any symptoms in connection with the system such as weakness of the hip or knee, new or worsening pain, loosening, grinding, or inability to bear weight.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/the-fda-issued-a-safety-communication-about-the-synovo-total-hip-resurfacing-system\/#more-3230\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctors sometimes perform total hip arthroplasty or total hip replacement using the Synovo Total Hip System, which features resurfacing implants.
