(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 30, 2010 ) New York, NY – The DePuy hip recall lawyers working with Class Action.org are available to review claims from recipients of the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System or the ASR XL Acetabular System. These two hip replacement products were recalled in Aug. 2010 after new data revealed that more patients than expected suffered from pain and other symptoms which led to a second hip replacement procedure. If you have been implanted with a recalled DePuy hip implant, visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-asr-hip-implant.html today to learn more about the hip replacement recall and to receive a free online review of your claim.
New information from the National Joint Registry of England and Wales prompted the DePuy hip implant recall of the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and the ASR XL Acetabular System. The data revealed that within five years, one in eight patients needed a second surgery, also known as a revision surgery, following the initial procedure. Specifically, five years after the first hip replacement surgery, approximately 12% of patients who were implanted with the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and 13% of patients who were implanted with the ASR XL Acetabular System required revision surgery.
Patients who reported problems with the recalled DePuy ASR hip implants and required corrective surgery complained of a number of symptoms, including swelling, trouble walking and pain. Other symptoms which may indicate a hip implant failure or loosening may include the following: unexplained hip pain; groin and thigh pain; pain with weight bearing; and pain when rising from a seated position. Although some of these symptoms are expected following a hip replacement surgery, prolonged symptoms may be indicative of a more serious problem.
