(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 03, 2011 ) New York, NY – Due to a DePuy hip implant recall, patients who were implanted with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System may be able to participate in a lawsuit to recover compensation for damages. The recalled DePuy hip implants have been associated with a number of problems including hip implant failure, implant loosening, and metal poisoning, an inflammatory reaction which may develop in some patients as the metal-on-metal components rub against each other. If you have experienced DePuy hip problems after being implanted with the DePuy DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, the DePuy hip litigation attorneys working with Class Action.org would like to hear from you. Simply visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-asr-hip-implant.html and fill out the free case evaluation form, which can help determine, at no cost to you, whether you can participate in a DePuy hip lawsuit to recover financial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.
A DePuy hip implant lawsuit is an option for recipients of the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System due to a DePuy hip replacement recall, which was announced in August 2010. The DePuy hip implant recall was issued after research showed that more patients than expected who were implanted with these systems needed a second hip implant surgery. Five years after the initial surgery, approximately 13% of patients with the ASR total hip replacement and 12% of patients with the ASR resurfacing device required a second surgery. Implant recipients who experienced DePuy hip problems within five years and needed revision surgery reported pain, trouble walking and swelling among their troublesome symptoms.
Recipients of a recalled hip implant may still be at risk for problems related to the release of small metal ions from the hip implants, even if they have not experienced pain or other symptoms. Therefore, if you have received an implant implicated in the DePuy hip recall, do not wait to experience symptoms of DePuy hip problems to explore your legal options.
