Hips That Harm: When Medical Devices Fail Women, Sophie N. Putka
Capstones
Medical devices that save the lives of thousands of Americans each year advance at a rapid pace - but some of them consistently leave women behind. When it comes to joint replacements and even heart devices, women have worse health outcomes. Behind this preventable problem is a system that overlooks women from start to finish.

Women’s participation in clinical testing for devices has increased, but there’s rarely a detailed analysis of performance by sex, and even less information on women by race …

In May 2019 my great grandmother, Carmel Ruffo, went to the hospital for a bowel impaction. One month and one stroke later she died. Since then, my great uncle–her son–has worked tirelessly seeking answers about the nature of his mother’s death. But the healthcare industry is a labyrinth of mind-boggling jargon, complex policies, and too-often dead ends.
In this story, the reader follows my uncle and me, just one of the hundreds of thousands of grieving families who suspect medical error contributed to their loved one’s death, as we navigate the bureaucracy of New York’s healthcare system and dig for …
