DePuy Attorneys Continue to Investigate Faulty Hip Implant Claims

The DePuy lawyers at Phillips Law Group are seeking individuals who had a DePuy hip implant and have sustained injuries from the device. There are currently thousands of pending lawsuits against DePuy that are alleging that the hip implant causes severe injuries and that the company withheld information about the devices’ high failure rate. If you have suffered an injury after the defective hip implant, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering and other losses.

In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics announced that it would be recalling two hip replacement products, the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and the ASR XL Acetabular System. The hip implants were recalled due to their high failure rates and the injuries that they caused to patients. The typical hip replacement is supposed to last approximately 15 years, but the DePuy hip implants are only lasting about five years before a revision surgery is needed. The devices caused patients serious pain and discomfort due to the metal-on-metal contacts. Some patients have experienced fractures to the surrounding bones around the hip implant. The metal parts are known to become loose. Due to the device’s metal-on-metal nature, metal fragments can become loose in the body. The metal debris can cause tissue and muscle damage to the person.

The DePuy hip implant attorneys at Phillips Law Group believe that DePuy did not adequately warn the public about the hip replacement systems’ high failure rates. The law firm would like to hear from anyone who had to have a revision surgery or has suffered a serious injury as result of a DePuy hip implant.
