DePuy Hip Replacements

Recently, a widespread medical product recall has come to our attention, and we can be of great help to those who have fallen victim to its effects. DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a division of Johnson & Johnson, is currently beginning litigation in state and federal courts nationwide, following the recall of two hip replacement systems – the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip Systems and ASR Hip Resurfacing Systems. The design of the implants caused metal to rub on metal, resulting in heavy toxicity in the bloodstream. The defective hip replacements also cause serious pain, difficulty walking and swelling.

The hip replacements have been used since 2003 and data demonstrated that within five years of the initial hip replacement surgery, one in eight patients needed a second surgery. Approximately 93,000 of the recalled ASR systems have been implanted worldwide.
