Questions about Hip Replacement

My gma 's planning to have her hip replaced and I'm quite confused in this surgery, I read an article about Depuy from Depuy Pinnacle Hip Lawsuits, is it really true that this surgery can cause a life threatening side effects to patients? I'm afraid for my gma's safety. But she's suffering hip pain for quite sometime now.
