The Encore Hip Implant was manufactured by Encore Medical, a Texas-based medical device manufacturer, and is now owned by DJO Surgical of San Diego, California. The Encore hip is designed with a metal insert on a plastic liner.

Numerous medical patients have suffered painful injuries as a result of this device malfunctioning, and our New York defective hip implant lawyers are committed to helping the victims find the justice and restitution they deserve.
