Although a DePuy Pinnacle hip recall has not been issued, patients who have been implanted with the DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup System may have legal recourse. Several DePuy Pinnacle lawsuits have already been filed, and patients experiencing DePuy Pinnacle problems with the metal-on-metal systems may be able to participate in a similar legal action to recover compensation for medical bills and other damages.

In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics issued a recall of the ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and ASR Hip Resurfacing System due to research which revealed that a greater number of patients than expected required revision surgery. While the DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup System was not involved in this or any hip implant recall, the system could potentially create problems for patients. Like the recalled DePuy ASR hip systems, the Pinnacle hip is a metal-on-metal device which may release small metal particles as its components rub against each other. In some cases, patients with metal-on-metal hip implants may develop an inflammatory reaction, known as metallosis, to these metal particles. In addition to metal poisoning, other
DePuy Pinnacle complaints may include hip implant failure, unexplained hip pain and hip implant loosening.
While a
DePuy Pinnacle recall has not been issued, problems with the implants have been serious enough to initiate several DePuy Pinnacle lawsuits. If you or a loved one has experienced DePuy Pinnacle failure or other problems, you may also be eligible for a lawsuit against the manufacturer.
