It's not surprising that DePuy Orthopedics is facing a number of hip replacement lawsuits after they formally recalled their ASR hip implant in August of 2010. Leading up to their announcement, a number of patients with either DePuy's ASR XL Acetabular implant or their ASR Hip Resurfacing system began reporting hip replacement problems that many concluded must be the result of the implant. Further research into these issues revealed that it was in fact the poor design of the metal-on-metal implant from DePuy that was the cause of the hip replacement problems.
More specifically, the amount of metal debris that is coming off of the implant and entering the patient's bloodstream is up to 100 times more than is found in an average hip replacement device. These patients are experiencing a significant degree of pain and further health complications as a result of these hip replacement problems and that's why a DePuy recall was needed. Fortunately this is a move that will hopefully reduce the number of hip replacement problems being had by patients with the DePuy implant but those who are already suffering feel as if the company, a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson, Inc., should be held accountable.
