Large numbers of patients around the world suffer from Hip problems and other complex hip related pains. Hip replacement surgery was thought to be a constructive solution for those who were suffering from high degree of pains. Depuy ASR was a replacement system that was introduced with the hope that it would be able to evade the Hip related pains after a hip implant.
The DePuy ASR is a large diameter, metal-on-metal hip replacement system. Ball and Socket joints are made from cobalt and chromium which formed the base for Metal on Metal Hip Implants. Metal on Metal was thought to be more durable than any other previous hip implant methods and hence it was welcomed by a large number of patients. But it was not as expected. Several patients reportedly expressed acute pain and other symptoms which necessitated regular medical checkups.
Hence it was told that Depuy ASR would be recalled and the company would assist in the costs involved. There are lots and lots of Depuy Hip Lawsuit that were raised seeking damages from the company.
referring to the recall of depuy hip, its is true that only Lawyers and other legal personnel can help in winning the case against DePuy.

ReplyDeleteMetal on metal implants were initially introduced in the hope of a longer lifespan for the implants. They are supposed to last at least 20 yeas so that patient doesn't have to undergo replacement surgery so often.
