There is a class action lawsuit going on around one manufacturer regarding a defective hip replacement product. A toll free number in my viewing area (NC) says that if you have to, or have had to, have other surgeries after this product was placed in your body then you need to call. You may have also been a victim. Call your local television station to find out if you are included in this demographic population.

Consumers should be more involved about the brands or products given to them by medical providers. all products are not equal. If you can't afford the best rated product, I would suggest setting up a Go Fund Me product and shoot for the best products. You have the best services, if you are at the Mayo Clinic.
