DePuy Hip Replacement Claims
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, has recalled two of its hip implant products. The recall follows more than two years of complaints to the Food and Drug Administration regarding these products. As a result of these premature product failures, many patients underwent a second hip replacement surgery-called a "revision surgery"-that sometimes resulted in unnecessary pain and complications, including infection.
The recalled products include the ASR XL Acetabular System, a hip socket used in traditional hip replacement; and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, a partial hip replacement that involves placing a metal cap on the ball of the femur.
More than 90,000 of these devices have been implanted worldwide. DePuy holds itself out as a leading global provider of orthopaedic devices for hip, knee, extremities and trauma, as well as bone cement and operating room products.
Clark Perdue has extensive experience handling claims involving defective medical devices.
