(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 17, 2011 ) Orlando, Florida – The hip implant lawyers at Morgan and Morgan are alerting DePuy ASR XL Acetabular hip system recipients of research which suggested that the DePuy hip failure rate of the device may be higher than originally reported. According to a statement from the British Orthopaedic Association and the British Hip Society, four surgeons’ data showed that the rate of corrective surgeries in those implanted with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System ranged from 21% after four years to 49% six years after the initial surgery. The 49% six-year revision surgery rate is approximately four times what the company cited in issuing a DePuy hip recall in August 2010. As a result of this new information regarding the DePuy hip failure rate, the hip recall lawyers at Morgan and Morgan are inviting patients to take advantage of their site’s free online legal consultation. This free case review can help patients determine whether they may have legal recourse to recover financial compensation for medical bills and other damages after experiencing problems with a recalled hip implant.

The DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System, as well as the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, was implicated in an August 2010 hip implant recall. The manufacturer issued the DePuy hip recall after data showed that more patients than expected needed a second hip replacement surgery. Data cited in the DePuy hip implant recall found that within five years, approximately 12% of patients with the ASR resurfacing device and 13% of patients with the ASR total hip replacement needed a revision surgery. DePuy hip symptoms experienced in those requiring corrective surgery included hip pain, swelling and difficulty walking.
If you or a loved one has experienced DePuy hip failure or other problems with the recalled ASR devices, you may be able to file a claim to recover compensation. Medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering are among the damages which may be available to patients who pursue a DePuy hip implant lawsuit; however, patients only have a limited amount of time to file a claim before they are barred from ever seeking compensation for their injuries.
