Depuy Hip Recall - Depuy ASR Hip Recall Lawsuit

DePuy Hip Recall

On August 24, 2010 DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., a Johnson and Johnson company, issued a recall notice for their ASR™ XL Acetabular System and their DePuy ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System.  Vanderhyde and Associates Law Firm is investigating these cases nationwide.

According to the company’s own data, the five year revision rate (need for a second surgery) for the ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System is 12%, and the revision rate for the ASR™ XL Acetabular System is 13%, which means as many as 93,000 people could be affected by this recall.



The highest revision rate is for ASR head sizes below 50 mm in diameter.  Additionally, female patients may be at a greater risk.

Some of the reasons for patient revisions include:
Component loosening
Component malalignment
Infection
Bone fracture
Metal sensitivity
Pain
Dislocation

All patients who have received the ASR system can expect to be informed of the recall and instructed to return to their doctor for a follow up visit.  This recall means you will likely require additional testing and monitoring.  You may also require an additional surgery.

The DePuy ASR systems first came on the market in July of 2003.  Therefore, if you received a hip replacement before 2003, you are not subject to this recall.
