DePuy Hip Problems May Cause Hip Pain, Swelling and Trouble Walking

Patients who have developed problems with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System have reported a number of symptoms which could indicate complications, such as hip implant dislocation or loosening. Trouble walking, swelling, discomfort and an audible popping, crunching or clicking noise are among the symptoms associated with DePuy hip problems. Other signs of possible DePuy hip complications may include decreased ability for physical activity, a sensation that the hip is not in place, and back, groin, leg or hip pain. If you or a loved one has received the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and developed any of these symptoms, visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-asr-hip-implant.html and fill out the free case evaluation form to find out if you can recover compensation for your DePuy hip problems.  

Difficulty walking, hip pain and swelling are common symptoms experienced by patients who have undergone a hip implant surgery. However, if these symptoms continue or come back, this may be a sign of a more serious issue, such as hip implant loosening. Because the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System have been associated with a higher than expected five-year revision surgery rate, recipients who have developed unusual symptoms should speak with their surgeon. In some cases, patients who experienced DePuy hip problems needed a second hip procedure, also known as a corrective surgery.  

Due to the DePuy hip implant recall, which was issued in August 2010, patients who experienced problems with either the ASR XL Acetabular Hip System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System may have legal recourse. If you have experienced DePuy hip problems, visit Class Action.org today and complete the free case evaluation form to determine whether you can participate in a DePuy hip lawsuit to recover compensation for medical expenses and other damages.
