If you are one of thousands of people in the United States who depends on a hip implant to get around and maintain your routine, you need to take notice of the recent action taken by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as the government is in effect cracking down hard on one
of the leading manufacturers of hip implants and hip and joint replacement parts.

The FDA recently sent the manufacturer of the hip implants in question, Stryker Corp. of Kalamazoo, Michigan, an extremely stern,six-page letter detailing the problems that have been discovered with the company’s manufacturing process and other issues that need to be corrected immediately.
