DePuy Hip Implant Recall
DePuy Orthopaedics has issued a WORLDWIDE RECALL of its ASR XL Acetabular System for Total Hip Replacement. It has been determined that the ASR XL Hip Implants fail at an unacceptable rate. These "metal-on-metal" hip implants can shed particles into the patient causing serious injury, early failure of the hip implant and often result in the need for additional orthopedic surgery.
Some of these have failed. Not all have. If you have a DePuy implant and you have not experienced failure, you should not assume yours will fail in the future. The ordered withdrawal of the prostheses by the FDA does not mean all DePuy implants will fail. Anecdotal sampling indicates a minority of the implants have failed. There does not appear to be any fault of the orthopedic surgeons who used this prosthesis.
Patients who have received defective hip implants have important legal rights. If you or a loved one has experienced complications after receiving a DePuy Hip Implant, please contact us for a free consultation.
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a subsidiary company of the medical manufacturing giant Johnson & Johnson, recalled ninety-three thousand hip implant devices on the 26th of last month. DePuy issued the recall on two separate implants, the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System and the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System.
