DePuy Pinnacle Recall

The Pinnacle hip was taken off the market in 2013 when the FDA tightened regulations.

The DePuy Pinnacle Hip System has been known to fail after only 5 years, coming up short to the industry standard hip devices that usually last over 20 years.

As new developments occur, we will update our DePuy Pinnacle News section & communicate directly with our clients.

Pinnacle Hip Failure Symptoms

The Pinnacle system uses a metal-on-metal construction, with a metal ball inserted into a metal socket. This can shed metal particles into the surrounding tissue and bloodstream, resulting blood poisoning, tissue damage, inflammation and infection. The implant can also cause bone erosion, or even separate from the bone entirely.
