DePuy Recall
The DePuy ASR is a metal-on-metal hip replacement system developed in 2005. But now, many health care professionals have increasingly been warning about problems with metal-on-metal hip implants. So, even if the hip implant does not seem to be causing a problem, DePuy has advised that all the patients with an ASR hip device see their surgeons for an evaluation.
But why such a bad situation appears? You see, many years later we have the after effect, consumers having to go through the pain and suffering of major surgery more than once. Some professionals find that metal-on-metal hip implants may shed metal particles into the body and the particles can damage soft tissue, cause inflammatory reactions and lead to bone loss.
Perhaps, if necessary, you need to contact a DePuy hip replacement lawyer if you is suffering from the ASR hip replacement system. People with the ASR implants may qualify for compensation for physical damage, additional surgeries and your pain and suffering.
Now, depuy recall patients may require a painful revision surgery to remove and replace the defective hip implant. DePuy estimates approximately 10,000 patients may need revision surgery, however, we believe that this grossly underestimates the number hip revision surgeries that will be necessary indeed.
