Alycia being my first born and hard-to-get baby was a precious baby to me. My life crumbled apart when she was about 6 months old. I will never forget the day during a routine 4-month old check up in the pediatrician’s clinic. When the doctor was examining Alycia’s hips, suddenly, he looked concerned, his eye brows furrowed and then in a serious tone, he told me that my baby had ‘clicky hips’ or Hip Dysplacia. He then explained to me the problem and referred us to an orthopedic.
For the next 3 months, I thought my happiness of finally having a baby came to an end. I did a lot of research on the internet on the condition. The more I read about the condition, the more depressed I was. Being a chronic worrier, my mind fast forwarded to the worst case scenario – that Alycia would need a hip replacement surgery when she’s a teenager. I had also read about the DePuy hip implant problems as the hip implants were defective. Long story cut short, I thank God that He had answered my prayers again. Alycia now has healthy bones and hips and did not require any invasive treatment, except that she had to wear double diapers for 3 months.
If you or anyone whom you know have had a DePuy hip implant, please let them know that the hip implant may be defective. However, they can pursue a DePuy Hip Replacement lawsuit and get a free consultation from O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath Personal Injury Lawyers by clicking on the link above.
