DePuy Hip Implant Recall

If you think you are suffering from a defective DePuy hip implant, you need to see your doctor as soon as possible. It your doctor confirms that you have a DePuy ASR™ joint and your DePuy hip implant is subject to the recall, you need to talk to your doctor about your hip replacement and your specific condition.

Patients with radiographic changes indicative of product failure should be addressed according to normal procedures. All other patients should be followed [...] a small number of patients may develop progressive soft tissue reactions to metal wear debris. The debris can cause soft tissue damage which may compromise the results of the revision surgery. Early revision of poorly performing hip replacements that generate metal debris should give a better revision outcome. Therefore metal ion testing should be considered in cases where the surgeon is concerned about the hip replacement. [DePuy Hip Implant Recall announcement]

DePuy, the maker of the recalled hip implant replacement joint, is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, a multi billion dollar company. Sales of faulty DePuy ASR™ hip joints helped Johnson & Johnson in profiting over $4 billion dollars in just one quarter in 2010.

You have rights.

Hip replacement surgery is expensive and painful with many weeks of recovery and physical therapy.

If you require another hip surgery because of your failed DePuy hip joint, DePuy should be liable for any costs associated with surgery and aftercare.

DePuy should be liable and compensate your pain and suffering.

Your future medical costs.

DePuy wants to pay you the least amount for your DePuy recalled hip implant that they can get away with.

You need to make sure that all of your surgery costs, recovery costs, and lost wages are covered.

Whatever medical costs that DePuy does not cover can end up coming out of your pocket.

DePuy does not want to pay you for pain and suffering.

Due to their faulty product, you may have to undergo additional painful surgies and months of aftercare in addition to metal poisoning or cancer risks.

You are entitled to compensation for this pain and suffering.

Do not allow DePuy to only pay your health insurance or medicare co-pays.

It is not your healthcare provider’s fault that your hip failed and your health insurace should not be stuck with the medical bills from your recalled hip implant.

Your healthcare provider wants to be paid back any money they spend on the expensive hip replacement related procedures and they have a right to be paid back.

If you agree to have DePuy just pay your insurance deductibles and co-pays, it is possible that your insurance company could sue you for the rest.

DePuy is responsible for ALL of your hip replacement costs and needs to be held accountable.
