St. Louis DePuy Implant Lawyer

Defective DePuy Hip Implants

In 2005, DePuy Orthopedics released their new ASR hip implant. Five years later, facing a failure rate of more than 12 percent, they announced that they were recalling the product. Multiple lawsuits by those who suffered because of the faulty implants, many of them featuring specific accusations that DePuy was aware of the defects in the hip implant, yet continued to produce it, have be initiated. These lawsuits contend that in a blind pursuit of profits, DePuy failed to warn doctors and patients of the problems that the ASR was experiencing.

What happens when a DePuy ASR hip implant is defective?

The DePuy ASR hip implants are very unstable, and the implants have broken apart in numerous cases. Users have experienced broken bones, severe infections, dislocated joints and trouble moving around due to the defect. Some people have even required an additional surgery to correct the problem, forcing them to go through the long rehabilitation process that typically accompanies major hip surgery.
