A number of individuals who used a Medtronic spinal system product ended up injured when they were found to be prone to failure. The Medtronic CD Horizon Legacy spinal system in particular has been known to have issues, leading to numerous Medtronic spinal system claims. If you or a loved one has suffered injury due to the use of a Medtronic spinal system device, you may have the option to pursue a product liability case.
Medtronic Lawsuits
In one major Medtronic spinal system lawsuit, court filings note that the system is “intended for use in spinal fusion surgeries for patients suffering from degenerative disc disease (DDD).” However, negligent design and manifesting of the device may have led to acute rod failure of the titanium rod in the system, leading to mental and physical pain and suffering as well as corrective surgery.
The Medtronic CD Horizon Legacy spinal system, as one example, is a medical device designed to treat spinal disorders by stabilizing the spine. Unfortunately, some individuals have suffered severe health issues due to defects and complications associated with this product. Some patients are experiencing cable breaks in the series of rods, hooks, and screws in the spinal device, causing additional pain.
There have also been a number of issues with spinal stimulators recently, with Medtronic being one of the affected brands facing legal action as a result of complications in patients using those devices, too.
Because some of the Medtronic spinal device cables were found to be prone to failure, the company could face legal action in the form of lawsuits regarding Medtronic spinal systems like the CD Horizon Legacy spinal system in addition to the claims the company is dealing with in regards to spinal stimulators.
