DePuy ASR Hip Replacement Recall | Toledo Ohio personal injury attorneys

The DePuy hip recall is an issue that has affected many people around the U.S.  A recent study showed that a five-year failure rate of the device is at 13 percent.  The device was recalled by Johnson & Johnson in 2010, five years after its introduction into the U.S. market.

The DePuy ASR hip implant is meant to last approximately 15 years; however, it has shown that it can fail within only a few years of surgery.  The victims of a faulty DePuy ASR hip implant may experience excruciating pain, and many times have to undergo complicated and expensive replacement surgery.

Symptoms as a result of failed Depuy hip replacements may include:
-Pain inflammation
-Hip inflammation

If you are having any of these symptoms, contact your orthopedic surgeon.  Your surgeon will recommend you undergo an X-ray procedure and special blood test to examine the level of metal particles in your blood.  If your DePuy implant has failures that may threaten your health, your doctor may recommend implant to be removed and you may be entitled to compensation.
