(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 25, 2011 ) New York, NY – The DePuy hip implant recall attorneys working with Class Action.org are available to review claims from patients who have been implanted with the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System or the ASR XL Acetabular System. These two hip replacement systems were implicated in a 2010 DePuy hip recall, which was issued after new research suggested that more patients than expected required a second hip replacement procedure, known as a revision surgery. If you or a loved one has been implanted with a recalled DePuy hip implant, visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-asr-hip-implant.html and complete the free online case review form to find out if you are entitled to financial compensation in light of the DePuy hip replacement recall.
Data from the National Joint Registry of England and Wales prompted the DePuy hip replacement recall. This information revealed that one in eight patients who received either the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System or the ASR XL Acetabular System needed a corrective surgery within five years of the initial procedure. Specifically, the data showed that within five years, 13% of patients who received the ASR total hip replacement and 12% of patients who received the ASR resurfacing device required a second hip implant surgery.
Patients who experienced DePuy hip problems and required revision surgery reported a number of symptoms, such as pain, difficulty walking and swelling. Other signs of hip implant failure or loosening may include the following: thigh, groin or hip pain; pain upon standing; and pain with weight bearing. While some of these symptoms are normal following a hip implant procedure, continued or recurring symptoms may indicate a more serious issue.
