Back injuries are one of the most common afflictions affecting people across America. Millions of people suffer strains, pulls, damaged vertebrae, and serious back problems every year, and medical science has developed a number of ways to help alleviate the pain and suffering of these unfortunate people. Unfortunately, some of these medical devices cause more harm than good.
One such device is the Johnson & Johnson Charite artificial spinal disc. This device, intended to relieve lower back pain by replacing damaged discs without resorting to invasive and dangerous lumbar spinal fusion surgery. The small plastic disc is designed to allow limited movement of the spine in the lower back, although it can sometimes increase the amount of stress on the areas just above and below the site. to Since July 2006, over 130 instances of significant medical trauma have been associated with the Charite disc.
Problems with the Charite Artificial Spinal Disc include:
- Increased back pain
- Cracked vertebrae
- Nerve injury
- Pedicle fractures
- Numbness
- Vein or artery trauma
- Follow up and potentially dangerous surgery
Many medical and legal professionals allege that Johnson & Johnson they marketed a product the either knew or should have known was seriously flawed in order to make quick money on the billion dollar a year back surgery market. Surgeons in Europe noted the problems with the Charite disc for 17 years before it was released onto the American market, and a well-known study reported that more than half of the patients with the prosthetic had fair or poor reactions.
