(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 21, 2011 ) New York, NY – In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics issued a hip replacement recall of two products: the ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. The DePuy hip replacement recall was issued due to new data from the National Joint Registry of England and Wales which revealed that more patients than expected required a second hip implant procedure, known as a revision surgery, within five years of the initial surgery. If you have been implanted with a recalled DePuy hip replacement, visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-asr-hip-implant.html today today to learn more about the DePuy hip problems and to find out if you are entitled to financial compensation as a result of the recall.
The new research which prompted the DePuy hip recall revealed that 13% of patients implanted with the ASR XL Acetabular System and 12% of patients implanted with the ASR Hip Resurfacing System needed corrective surgery within five years of the first procedure. Patients who complained of DePuy hip problems within the first five years and needed corrective surgery reported a number of symptoms, such as pain, swelling and trouble walking. Although these symptoms commonly follow a hip implant procedure, prolonged or recurring problems may indicate a more serious issue, such as hip implant loosening.
