Article Directory :: Health & Fitness Articles The Use of Cranial Implants In The United States By Katie Kelley Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 05Feb2009 Word count: 416 Viewed: 80 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site Cranial implants are used for an array of face, jaw and cranium defects among a variety of patients in the United States. Cranial defects can develop in several ways. Some of the following are conditions that often require the implementation of a these kits. * birth defects/complications * traumatic brain injury * cranial abnormalities * orbital roof or medial wall defects * brain hemorrhaging * soft tissue loss * scalp swelling One such defect that is commonplace in requiring a cranial implant kit is that of temporomandibular joint, or TMJ of the jaw joint, which occurs as a "collection of poorly understood conditions characterized by pain in the jaw and surrounding tissues and limitations in jaw movements," according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) of the National Institutes of Health. TMJ can be caused by injuries that regularly cause damage and pain to other parts of the body including Arthritis. The NIDCR has said that TMJ affects nearly 10 million Americans, both men and women, "at any given time," but predominately is seen among women who are within their "childbearing years." Cranial Implant Recall The technology for which kits are created is quite advanced and often kits are specially designed and cut for an individual, which makes it even more difficult for such products to be recalled as surgery is often required. According to a recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) medical announcement, "custom cranial implants are designed individually for each patient to correct trauma and/or defects in the lower jaw, upper jaw and face or the cranium and the face." Unfortunately, one such recall has recently occurred among the Stryker Corporation's Custom Cranial Implant Kits. Approximately 322 patients will likely be affected by the cranial implant kit recall, which occurred after issues with the kit's sterility arose. If a patient does nothing about the recall, the result may be fatal or cause severe injury to a cranial implant kit patient. Those who have been affected by the cranial implant kit recall should discuss the development of a cranial implant kit lawsuit by speaking with an experienced medical attorney who can provide a free legal consultation for those endangered by the Stryker cranial implant kit risks. Additionally, by contacting an experienced medical injury attorney, the chances of earning monetary compensation for the injuries incurred are increased for a cranial implant kit recall victim. It is important for patients to arm themselves with as much detailed information as possible in order to protect themselves from any increased dangers.
