Victims of Failed DePuy Hip Replacement System Taking Action

When the recall was finally announced for the DePuy Hip Replacement product, the ASR XL Acetabular System, it had already reached a nearly 13% record of failure. Numerous individuals that had the implant have reported severe injuries due to the implant failing. These injuries have included fractures and dislocations, among other things.

Of course, those who have experienced a failed DePuy, Stryker, or Zimmer product are now banding together to take action against the manufacturers of these faulty products. Why? Well, there is nothing more disconcerting that going through a major surgical procedure and weeks of recovery, only to find out that the entire process is going to have to be endured yet again due to failure. On top of that, the sheer cost of the procedure, loss of work, inability to perform the activities of daily living, and isolation from others can quickly cause an individual to become depressed. Let’s face it; recovery from a hip replacement operation can literally take months, depending upon the patient. That’s a great deal of lost time to begin with, not to mention the additional time that is lost in the case of a corrective surgery.

This is why, if you or a loved one has experienced the failure of one of these recalled devices, it is strongly advised that you seek the counsel of a hip attorney that is experienced with cases involving failed medical devices. Attorneys that specialize in these cases have dealt with patients in these situations many times. Not only will an experienced attorney be able to better understand the way that the entire situation has made you feel, but they also have the knowledge behind them to be aware of what information and evidence must be collected in order to pursue the manufacturer so that you can receive compensation for the affects that this faulty product has on you and your family.

This recent Hip Replacement Recall involves the DePuy Orthopaedics ASR XL Acetabular System, the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System, the Zimmer Durom Cup, the Stryker Trident Hemispherical Acetabular Cup, and the Stryker Trident PSL. Individuals that are concerned with the signs that might indicate a device failure should be on the lookout for popping, clicking, pain, swelling, fracture, and dislocation.
