DePuy Hip Implant Lawsuit May Be an Option for Patients with Recalled ASR Hips

A DePuy hip implant lawsuit may be an option for patients who were implanted with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. Potentially, a DePuy hip implant lawsuit would seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and other damages resulting from the patient’s DePuy hip problems. To find out if you can file a DePuy hip implant lawsuit, visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-asr-hip-implant.html and complete the form on the right for a no risk, no cost review of your claim.  

ASR XL Acetabular System and ASR Hip Resurfacing System recipients may be eligible for a DePuy hip implant lawsuit in light of a DePuy hip recall, which was issued in August 2010. The recall was announced after research indicated that more patients than expected who were implanted with these hip replacements needed revision surgery. Five years after implantation, approximately 13% of patients with the ASR total hip replacement and 12% of patients with the ASR resurfacing device needed corrective surgery. Patients who experienced DePuy hip problems within the first five years and required corrective surgery reported swelling, trouble walking and pain among their symptoms. 

Even patients who have not experienced signs of DePuy hip problems may still be at risk for complications related to the release of small metal particles from the metal-on-metal hips. Therefore, if you have been implanted with a device implicated in the DePuy hip recall, it’s important to learn your legal rights today.
