The firm is representing individuals with defective ASR Depuy Hip Implants. Please see our new website dedicated to helping inform people who have been injured by ASR Depuy Hip implants. http://www.recallhipimplant.com/home DePuy Orthopaedics, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, issued a world-wide recall of ASR hip replacement systems on August 26, 2010. The recall includes two products:
  • ASR Hip Resurfacing System and
  • ASR XL Acetabular System
A large number of ASR hip replacements have been defective or failed completely. Many individuals who received defective ASR hip replacements have had to undergo painful second surgeries to replace the failed ASR hip implants. The ASR Hip implants can fail by becoming loose, fracturing the bone around the implant, or dislocating the implant's ball and socket. Defective ASR hip replacements can cause swelling, pain, and difficulty walking. Metal particles can flake off of the ASR Hip replacement and enter the bloodstream. Data shows that DePuy hip system recipients are in need of a second hip replacement procedure at higher-than-expected rates. Replacement procedures are normally only required when an artificial joint causes pain or difficulty in walking. Per DePuy, there are approximately 93,000 of these devices implanted worldwide since they were introduced in July, 2003. If you or a family member have had to undergo replacement surgery for a defective Depuy ASR hip system or have been told your Deply ASR hip system must be replaced, call Klein Frank, P.C. at 303-448-8884. Our firm has successfully represented hundreds of patients nationwide in individual defective medical device cases, including helping obtain a settlement worth over $1 billion for patients who received faulty hip and knee implants manufactured by Sulzer Corporation. We welcome the opportunity to review your claim. We will respond promptly and there is no charge and obligation on your part to retain our firm as your attorney.
