Hip Joint Replacement Stem Fracture
The Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA Law Firm has represented individuals across the country regarding hip joint replacements stem fractures in lawsuits against the manufacturer of the fractured stem.

There is absolutely no obligation or cost to you for us to review your case. If our legal team believes you have a case, we charge a percentage of any financial recovery as our fee. If you get no compensation in the case, then our law firm receives no fee and you owe us no money.
Typically, in order to review a case, we need:
- The orthopedic surgeon's office chart
- The operative reports for the original joint replacement surgery and the revision surgery
- The device record for the original surgery from the hospital chart (this shows the product and lot numbers of the components of the device).
- In cases involving a fractured stem, the pieces of the stem may be absolutely necessary to our ability to prosecute your case. Therefore, it is essential that you get possession of the device as soon as it is removed. In some cases it may still be possible to proceed with litigation with no device, but in others we will not be able to pursue the case without the device.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail us.
