DePuy Hip Failures
DePuy Orthopedics has confirmed that two of its ASR hip implant products are considered defective due to the 12% of revision surgeries being needed after 5 years. These failures generated the DePuy ASR hip recall.
According to the DePuy site and several articles, patients experiencing DePuy ASR hip failures include one or more of the following symptoms:
- pain
- necrosis
- infection
- inflammation
- nerve damage
- tissue damage
- muscle damage
- limited mobility
- component loosening
- component misalignment/dislocation
- soft tissue masses/non-cancerous tumors
- fracture of the bone around site/weak bones
- metal sensitivity/metal contamination/increased metal levels in blood
In addition, because of the additional damage to bone and scar tissue from DePuy ASR hip failures, revision surgery is costly. Know your rights. The Simmons firm can help. Contact our DePuy hip recall lawyers today.
