Hip Implant Recall

DePuy Othopedics Inc has announced the recall of their ASR Hip Resurfacing and Replacement Systems due to an abnormally high rate of failure associated with the devices. In total about 93,000 DePuy hip resurfacing and replacement devices are covered under the recall. The recalled components include the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System and DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System. The resurfacing system was not approved for use in the U.S. and therefore should not be of concern to most Americans; however, thousands of Americans have had the DePuy XL Acetabular Hip Replacement System implanted.

The data shows that five years after implantation, about 12% of patients who had received the ASR resurfacing device and 13% of patients who had received the ASR total hip replacement needed to have a revision surgery.

We are providing free consultations and claim evaluations for individuals who received the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System or DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System who have experienced:

  • Unexplained hip pain
  • Loosening of their hip implant
  • Failure of the hip replacement
  • Additional hip surgery to revise their implant

For a free consultation with us, please go to our website and fill out the contact form or call us at 713-529-1177.
