DePuy Hip Replacement Recall Issued for ASR Systems
DePuy Orthopaedics has issued a recall of its ASR XL Acetabular System and ASR Hip Resurfacing System hip replacement devices after studies revealed that they were more than twice as likely to fail within five years than other hip replacements. Patients who received a DePuy ASR device have reported hip replacement problems, including pain, discomfort and difficulty walking. Roughly 12-13% of patients who received a ASR DePuy hip implant require surgery within five years to repair the device.
Many patients who had problems with their DePuy hip replacements have filed lawsuits against the company, alleging that it knew about problems with the ASR devices years before they recalled. Class action lawsuits against DePuy have also been filed over the hip replacement recall.
