Biomet Magnum Hip Implant Recall
The Biomet M2-a Magnum is similar to the recalled DePuy ASR hip and other metal hip implants, which have come under scrutiny for their high failure rates and risks of serious side effects as they are that implants consist of a metal femoral head and pelvic cup. The Biomet Magnum hip replacement is composed of chromium and cobalt.
The friction from the metal components may release metal debris into the surrounding bloodstream and tissue, causing hip replacement complications.
