Damage Caused by Pain Pumps

Recent studies have identified intra-articular pain pumps as a likely cause of severe cartilage damage, primarily in the shoulder but possibly in other joints as well. In the shoulder, this condition is known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chrondrolysis (PAGCL). This is a devastating condition that causes severe pain and the need for constant medication. The condition may ultimately require shoulder joint replacement surgery.

How Pain Pumps are Involved

In a recent edition of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers have identified high-flow intra-articular pain pumps as the likely cause of PAGCL. Other studies are currently underway to confirm these findings.

The Law Firms Who Will Evaluate my Case

Two nationally-recognized law firms have joined forces to represent people across the United States who have been injured by pain pumps. Parsons Behle & Latimer is one of the top 500 largest law firms in the United States. Dewsnup King & Olsen is a dedicated personal injury law firm also strategically located in the Intermountain West. Both firms represent injured clients nationwide.

These two firms have been working together since the initial discovery of the role that high-flow intra-articular pain pumps played in the development of permanent cartilage damage, and have consulted directly with the primary medical and legal researchers of this tragic complication. These two firms were also the first in the United States to file a lawsuit against one of the largest manufacturers of these pain pumps, Stryker Corporation.
