Stryker Leg Frame Support Holder Broken During Surgery – Defective Medical Device Attorneys

There are many surgeries that can require legs to be restrained and supported by medical devices. Some examples of these medical procedures may include the following:

• Limb lengthening surgeries
• Urology, gynecology, and cystoscopy procedures (requiring better access to the pelvic area)
• Orthopaedic trauma surgery
• Leg surgeries involving the knee, ankle, or hip, for instance
• And more

When a medical device that is supposed to be keeping legs in place during a surgery fails and breaks in the middle of the procedure, the surgery could be suddenly interrupted and injuries may occur.

• Nerve injuries
• Ligament injuries
• Dislocations
• Fractures
• Hemorrhaging
• Infections
• And more

These incidents could ultimately lead to injuries that require additional treatment and may even cause permanent harm.

Who is responsible for harm resulting from medical devices that break during surgery? The answer to this question depends on the details surrounding the incident. For example, if the incident occurred because the medical device was defective (and had a defect in design, labeling, or manufacturing), then the company that manufactured and/or sold the product could be found liable. In other words, if the incident was caused by a defective Stryker product, then Stryker could be responsible and could be sued.

Can any other party or entity be liable for an incident resulting from a medical device breaking during surgery? Can the surgeon be liable? Can the hospital be liable? These are all very common and important questions. Under certain circumstances, doctors and hospitals could be found accountable if medical devices fail. More specifically, if doctors/hospitals knew or should have known that the medical device was in disrepair, in need of maintenance, or in need of replacement, then the doctors/hospital could be liable.
