The DePuy hip recall of the ASR hip implant was announced by DePuy Orthopedics Inc. on August 26, 2010. The hip recall by DePuy of its ASR hip implant comes after the device was marketed for approximately six years between 2003 and 2010. The defective ASR hip system has been implanted in a total of about 93, 000 patients. This hip recall affects two products by DePuy namely, the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and the ASR XL Acetabular System. This DePuy hip recall comes after years of published reports, studies and data indicating that the device was defective and failing in patients.
The reason for this DePuy hip recall is because of the alarming number of complaints and high revision surgery rate for the device. DePuy statistics show that “approximately 12% of patients who had received the ASR resurfacing device and 13% of patients who had received the ASR total hip replacement needed to have a revision surgery.” This means that affected patients will undergo a painful and unnecessary DePuy hip revision surgery. Patients would not be facing this problem if not for the defective DePuy hip.
The ASR hip system has been manufactured and implanted in the United States since back in July 2003. This means that individuals that have their hips replaced on and after July 2003 should determine if they received a DePuy ASR and are affected by the DePuy ASR hip recall. You can contact your orthopedic surgeon or the hospital where the surgery took place to find out whether you received an ASR DePuy Hip. The next step is to hire your very own DePuy hip recall lawyer to help you protect your rights, and recover the compensation you deserve in a hip recall lawsuit against DePuy, the manufacturer of the device.
If you or a loved one has received the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System or DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System and have experienced some type of hip pain, additional hip surgery, or some type of failure with your hip replacement, you may want to contact us for a free case evaluation and consultation.
