Hip Recalls for Depuy Implants Have Patients Contacting the Strategic Lawyers at Chandler, Mathis and Zivley

On August 26, 2010, news of hip recalls for DePuy hip replacement products was delivered. Since then it has ignited numerous DePuy hip replacement lawsuits which are being filed nationwide. The hip recalls creating these lawsuits allege that based on hundreds of complaints by doctors and patients to DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., the manufacturer, that they were fully aware that the hip implant devices were defective and continued to allow the implants to be used. Over 100,000 individuals have been implanted with these products world-wide and hip recalls mean many of them will have to have the devices removed through another painful surgery.

Chandler, Mathis and Zivley want you to know that if you or a loved is experiencing hip replacement problems and has received a DePuy hip replacement, you should contact a DePuy hip recall lawyer to file a hip replacement lawsuit on your behalf. Complications from the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System could include:

  • Inexplicable Hip Pain
  • Loosening of the DePuy ASR Hip
  • Hip Failure
  • Metallosis

The metal on metal design causes the deterioration of the prosthetic hip part leading to small metal fragments or shards breaking off and getting into the person's blood stream. Some patients have been found to have levels of the metals in their bodies that are 100 times the normal amount. This metal poisoning is called metallosis and can cause problems in your nervous, respiratory and reproductive systems. While an elevated level of chromium and cobalt is normal in hip replacement patients, some lead metal levels have caused this metal blood poisoning. A blood test can determine if these levels have risen high enough for you to be diagnosed with metallosis.
