DePuy hip replacements, which are manufactured by a unit of Johnson & Johnson, are one of many types of hip replacement implant, used in such hip replacement surgery. There are different types of DePuy hip repacement bearings, comprising different materials, from plastic, metal or ceramic. Unfortunately, these hip replacement implants can cause serious adverse reactions, which have led to an increase in the number of people filing a Depuy lawsuit. |
In August 2010, DePuy Orthapedics announced that they were recalling two kinds of hip implants. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had received consumer complaints about the hip implants for the past several years. Since 2008, there have been nearly 400 complaints of device failure. It is estimated that around 93,000 people have received the defective hip implant worldwide. Almost 150 lawsuits have already been filed against the makers of DePuy. Almost every DePuy lawsuit states the early failure of the DePuy hip replacements. |
Hip replacement patient complaints referred to poor fixation or loosening requiring revision surgeries, squeaking noises (from the ceramic on ceramic joints) requiring revision surgeries due to implant failures (fractures, pain, wear particles, and fragments), and improper seating resulting in bone fractures. |
If you or a loved one had a DePuy ASR hip implant system implanted and have suffered complications, or experienced a failure requiring revision surgery, you may be entitled to recover damages for lost wages, medical costs, and pain and suffering resulting from the injury. |
