California Depuy Hip Replacement Lawyer

ASR and ASR XL Hip Implant Recalls

Johnson & Johnson’s artificial joint company DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. has issued a GLOBAL RECALL of two of its metal-on-metal hip replacement systems: the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and the ASR XL Acetabular System. DePuy sold approximately 93,000 of these systems. The true reasons are that these hip implants have a very high early failure rate in many patients which includes smaller people, typically women and patients who have weak bones.  These implants also can shed particles into the patient causing serious, painful reactions, causing an additional surgery.

DePuy Orthopedics Press Release on the recall is as follows:

"Data recently received by the company shows that more people than expected who received the ASR Hip System experienced pain and other symptoms that led to a second hip replacement surgery, called a revision surgery.  For this reason, DePuy Orthopedics is voluntarily recalling its 'ASR XL Acetabular System and DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System'.  This recall means additional testing and treatment may be necessary to ensure the hip is functioning well.  In some cases, patients may need additional surgery."

Unfortunately, many patients have had to endure hip replacement surgeries within 12 to 24 months of the hip implants. The hip implants had failed after just a few years. We are DePuy Hip Implant Recall Lawyers. We are investigating the DePuy hip implant and hip implant recall claims throughout the country.

The DePuy ASR and ASR XL hip implants fail at a significantly higher rate than other manufacturer’s hip implants. Corrective or revision surgery is often times necessary–-a very serious complication. The problem with the implant is its design which is unfortunately shallower than other hip implant devices. The design makes the implant systems prone to problems. As Depuy Hip Implant Recall lawyers, we are actively bringing claims against DePuy and Johnson & Johnson for these design defects.

Common Symptoms include the following:
1.    Constant hip pain
2.    Thigh and/or groin pain
3.    Pain while walking
4.    Weight-bearing pain
5.    Pain rising from a seated position

We are hip replacement lawyers.

If you did not know which system was implanted in you contact your orthopedic surgeon or obtain the hospital operative report where you had the hip surgery done.

Remember, symptoms of the DePuy hip failure include:
a.    Pain while weight bearing
b.    Pain arising from a seated position
c.    Thigh or groin pain
d.    Unexplained hip pain
e.    Pain with walking

If you have any of these symptoms it could be a warning of a hip device failure. If the system fails it could lead to a second surgery known as a revision surgery. If you or a loved one had implanted in them a Depuy hip replacement system, and either underwent or are scheduled to undergo revision surgery, you are entitled to compensation.
