Is My DePuy Hip Defective? Have you had a hip replacement with a DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System or DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System? Have you experienced any of the following symptoms?
Pain, swelling, and problems walking
Loosening of the device, where the implant does not stay in the bone in the correct position
Fracture of the bone around the implant
Dislocation, where the two parts of the implant that move against each other are no longer aligned, causing popping or clicking
Hip replacement failure requiring a corrective surgery
What Recourse Do I Have? If you think you or a loved one may have received one of these defective hip implant systems, contact Mark A. Anderson immediately. If you have received a recalled DePuy device and are experiencing any of the above symptoms, you do have legal rights.
Hip replacements with proper implants can last as long as 25 years. You should not have to go through another surgery because of a defective implant! If you have received a defective hip you may have already had to undergo a second painful surgery, or you may have to do so in the future. You deserve to be compensated for the additional medical treatment, testing, surgery, and the pain and suffering that you experienced as a result of this defective product. Johnson & Johnson and DePuy have a responsibility to you to fully test their products to ensure you are receiving the safest hip implant possible.
