Johnson & Johnson, DePuy Hip Implant Recall
Hip Replacement Causing Pain, Mobility Issues?
Johnson & Johnson, DePuy Hip Implant Recall
What You Need to Know
A global recall has been issued for two hip aid systems produced by DePuy Orthopedics, a unit of Johnson and Johnson due to issues related to pain, swelling and mobility in patients.
The recall involves about 93,000 units of DePuy’s ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. The recall was issued due to an increase in the number of people who needed a second (revision) hip replacement surgery.
According to the company, its information showed that 12-13 percent of the patients who received one of the two devices in question needed a second surgery five years after implantation.
The most common symptoms reported included pain, swelling and difficulty walking. The company indicated that continuation of those symptoms could ultimately lead to more significant complications, including a loosened or dislocated implant or fracture of the hip bone.
If you underwent hip replacement surgery with one of these devices, it is important that you take steps to protect your rights.
