Texas Hip Replacement Injury Lawyers
Many Americans have had to undergo hip replacement surgery to correct a degenerative hip or other serious conditions. One of the most common hip replacements was the ASR XL Acetabular hip replacement system, manufactured by DePuy Orthopedics. DePuy is owned by Johnson & Johnson. Unfortunately, these hip replacements have an unacceptably high-failure rate. Symptoms of a defective hip replacement can include swelling and difficulty walking. Many people with this particular hip replacement have suffered infections, bone fractures or dislocations and other severe injuries.
On August 26, 2010, DePuy ordered a hip replacement recall of nearly 100,000 hip replacements. Unfortunately, for those who have already had a hip replaced, the only way to "recall" this product is in another hip surgery. Every surgery involves a degree of risk, and there is no guarantee that an additional hip surgery will be successful. Even worse, the defective DePuy hip replacement system has been known to leave behind fragments. These fragments may go undiscovered and can cause additional injuries. Although DePuy has indicated it will pay for the costs of a replacement surgery, there is no indication that DePuy will compensate victims for all the costs associated with this recall.
