Are you or your loved ones victims of DePuy Hip Replacement? Do not get into denial and put your mobility at stake. It is time to combat the pain heaped on you.

DePuy in practice
The total hip replacement has been in practice in the United States of America since 2003. 93,000 have been recalled by the makers of hip replacement, Johnson & Johnson. Researchers acknowledge that the orthopaedics designed ASR hip transplants defectively. Specialists feel that acetabular cup may be a problem because it is shallower than the other hip replacements. Tiny metal shavings from the device may injure the surrounding tissue complicating the chances of a revision surgery.

Defective design
Reports show that the device was not tested adequately to add to the defective design contributing to a life threatening situation rendering the patients helpless. Patients who have had the hip replacement surgery are being advised to contact the hospital where they had their surgeries to find if the defective hip replacement is with a DePuy device. All components for the ASR XL Acetabular System and DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing Platform from DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. are part of the DePuy recall 2010 notice.

Ramifications of Device failure
Should the ASR metal hip replacement fail, metal pieces may enter sensitive body tissue and activate heightened metabolic activity and pain resulting in swelling and excruciating pain. A permanent damage can happen to muscle and other tissues leading to life threatening situations. Patients who have had defective hip replacement surgery may have to go for revision surgery or additional hip replacements.

Recall by DePuy
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intervened in August 2010 and DePuy recalled these devices. DePuy has also put a stop on any further implants from the inventory.

Johnson & Johnson recalls hip replacement systems

Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Orthopaedics said it was recalling its ASR XL Acetabular System and ASR Hip Resurfacing System, both used in hip replacement surgery due to the number of patients requiring a second hip replacement procedure, or a revision surgery. This has come in the wake of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) warning to DePuy for unapproved use.

A DePuy Hip Recall was announced on August 26, 2010 internationally. Due to this Hip Replacement Recall, patients that have an ASR hip implant may require a painful revision surgery to remove and replace the defective hip implant.
