Hip Implants Recalled Due to Failure
Johnson and Johnson has recalled 2 Hip
Implants because of failure. The two
implants were made by the DePuy
Orthopaedics unit of Johnson and
Johnson. The decision to withdrawn
the products was based upon the fact
that many patients require a second
hip replacement because of product
failure.DePuy release a statement
today that they two products being
recalled were: the ASR XL Acetabular
System, a hip socket used in
traditional hip replacement, and
the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, a
partial hip replacement that involves
placing a metal cap on the ball
of the femur, a method intended to
preserve more bone. There about
93,000 of the defective appliances
that have been implanted worldwide.
For over two years the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has been
besieged with complaints about the
failure of the devices and painful
surgery to replace them.The office
of Jon L. Gelman has advocated for
consumer rights and has helped those
who have unfortunately received
defective medical devices. Please
call 1-973-696-7900 or e-mail for
further information.
