DePuy sued over ARS hip devices; patients file lawsuit

An unusually high number of artifical hip implant failures has led to DePuy Orthopaedics filing of a worldwide recall. Patients with the DePuy hip implants have reported experiencing increasing pain, loss of mobility, and general discomfort in the area of the implant.  Severe symptoms have led some patients to have a revision surgery (replacement of the initial implant).  Patients that are experiencing problems with the hip devices have been filing DePuy lawsuits against the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary in an attempt to recover for permanent damages done to them by the defective hip implant.

It has recently been confirmed that DePuy was aware of the problems with two of their implants (DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System) for an extended period of time but failed to recall the devices. Leading orthopaedic doctors and ARS hip implant lawyers say that this is complete unacceptable and DePuy needs to be held accountable.

In addition to the recent revelations regarding DePuy's defective ARS implants, an FDA warning letter was sent to the orthopaedics manufacturer that requested they cease production of their Corail Hip System and the TruMatch Personalized Solutions System as a result of various federal violations.  This letter highlighted a frightening problem that appears to be growing inside the health industry: a lack of responsibility toward its patients. 

The multiple violations and defects associated with various DePuy products has placed a spotlight on the company; however patients will soon be able to demand that DePuy answer for their negligence in the form of a DePuy lawsuit.
