What You Need to Know About Hip Revision Surgery
A faulty hip replacement may cause extreme pain and medical complications for patients who underwent the surgery. The defective ASR hip replacement device has been found to loosen or break apart in the hip resulting in bone fractures, infection, hip sensitivity, and joint dislocation.
DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., owned by Johnson and Johnson has issued a product recall on its ASR XL Acetabular and ASR Hip Resurfacing systems. The National Joint Registry (NJR) recently released a report that 12-13% of DePuy Orthopedics’ hip replacement patients will need a second hip replacement surgery (called revision surgery). Normal hip replacement implants last for approximately 15 years, whereas in some cases the ARS System breaks apart within 5 years of surgery.
Hip replacement surgery is an intensive medical treatment. The operation can require 2-4 days of hospitalization and sometimes months of physical therapy rehabilitation.
The Bernard Law Group is conducting a thorough independent investigation into medical product negligence claims. DePuyOrthopedics’ ASR System hip replacement devices may have violated health safety standards and put patients at risk for further medical complications.
