I enjoy following Twitter handles which gives me the latest on health news and services. Lat night while doing my routine of reading tweets while lulling myself to sleep, I came across news about DePuy hip lawsuit.
Apparently, DePuy Orthopedics issued global recall of the ASR hip system back in August of the current year. The recall applies to patients who have had a hip replacement since 2003. This is very unfortunate because most of the 12,000 patients who went for hip replacement surgery are elderly people.
If you know of anybody who has had DePuy hip implants between 2003 to 2010 or any person who have been subjected to a revision surgery as a result of the recall, they should also see a DePuy hip recall attorney to know their rights. This way, they can prevent further medical malpractice in the future.

I’ve read many posts on this Johnson & Johnson hip replacement recall and I personally think it’s a very sad episode. A hip replacement failure can mean serious injuries for the patient, aside from the revision surgery that the patient will very likely face. Patients should attempt to be very watchful for certain signs that their hip replacement device is failing. For example, swelling of the hip area, popping or clicking, pain on a regular or chronic basis, loosening or implant dislocation, and even fractures are all fairly good signs that the device is about to fail or has failed. It’s good to know that a new registry is now set up to track problems with hip and knee implants across the United States in light of the recent 90,000 recall cases from Johnson&Johnson.
