Hip Implant Recall Overview

In recent months, the DePuy Orthopaedics Division of Johnson & Johnson has recalled a commonly used hip replacement implant, the ASR XL Acetabular System. The system in question is often used in traditional hip replacements and has been used worldwide for some time. In recent studies, it has been discovered that the ASR system has a significantly higher rate of failure than other similar devices.

At Larkin Axelrod Ingrassia & Tetenbaum, LLP, our New York personal injury lawyers offer detailed representation to individuals who have suffered unnecessary pain or expense due to the malfunction or failure of the ASR system. With detailed knowledge of the ASR system, its uses and the issues its failure may cause, we work to help you recover compensation for damages sustained following implantation of the defective system.

Many experts believe that debris from the metal-on-metal bearings housed in the ASR system may cause inflammation and tissue damage in some patients. Other specialists believe that design problems with the ASR system have made it difficult for surgeons to properly implant the device, causing issues from the very beginning of its use.

Our attorneys will carefully examine your situation, including your medical history, your current injuries and the extent of your losses before offering advice on your options for recovering compensation for your losses.

Our knowledge on this issue allows us to offer helpful advice on your unique situation and provide answers to several important questions, including:

  • Will my current implant fail?
  • Will I need a second hip replacement?
  • How will I pay for the second surgery?
  • What are my options for pursuing compensation?

If you believe you are experiencing pain or injury due to the ASR system, call us at 834-234-4852 to learn how we can help you seek recovery.
