People With Depuy Hip Implants Should Be Aware That Potential Statutes Are Coming Up on Some Depuy Failed Hip Implant Lawsuits by Texas Depuy Hip Implant Lawyer and Texas Depuy Failed Hip Implant Lawyer
In August, 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics Inc.
announced that it would be recalling two hip replacement
products, the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and the ASR XL Acetabular System, after receiving data which indicated
that more patients than expected experienced pain and other
symptoms which required a revision surgery following the
initial hip replacement procedure. Now almost two years after the recall, some potential statutes on these claims may run, potentially leaving patients that have not acted on their potential claims without recourse.
People with
DePuy ASR and ASR XL metal-on-metal hip implants that have
experienced loosening and dislocation of the device
resulting in the need for early revision surgery and/or the
release of metal debris causing muscle and soft tissue
damage should be aware of these potential statutes.
If you or a
family member have
been the victim of a failed hip replacement surgery including a
defective hip replacement cup implant or hip replacement
system, please feel free to send an e-mail to Texas
Depuy Hip Implant lawyer Jason Coomer about these potential statutes.
Hip Replacement
Surgery including Total Joint Replacement Surgery, Total Hip Arthroplasty, and Total Hip
Replacement Surgery are Extensive Surgeries Which Require Significant Recovery and Rehabilitation: Persons Going Through These Surgeries More Than Once Should Know Why and Make Sure They Are Not The Victim of a Defective Product
Hip replacement surgery, also called
total hip arthroplasty, involves removing a diseased or
broken hip joint and replacing it with an artificial joint,
called a prosthesis. Hip prostheses commonly consist of a
ball component, made of metal or ceramic, and a socket,
which has an insert or liner made of plastic, ceramic or
metal. The implants used in hip replacement are or should be
biocompatible (meaning they're designed to be accepted by
your body) and made to resist corrosion, degradation and
wear.
