Stryker will provide a base payment of $300,000 to patients who received the implant and underwent revision surgery by Nov. 3, to remove and replace the devices, plaintiffs' counsel Wendy Fleishman from Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP said in a statement.
In June 2012, Stryker recalled its Rejuvenate and ABG II Modular-Neck Hip Stems saying the implants could cause adverse reactions, including pain and swelling.
Stryker said it has recorded charges of up to $1.425 billion so far related to claims over the implants.
