Dec. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Johnson & Johnson DePuy said they will be recalling both the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, and the ASR XL Acetabular System. The hip replacement recall comes after data was compiled showing a failure-rate in these devices was a staggering 1 in 8, which left thousands of patients needing to undergo further surgery to have a second hip implant.

Johnson & Johnson DePuy have now stopped selling these popular hip implants after reports emerged of the high rate of failure. The company also said that before they stopped selling them, 93,000 had already been implanted into patients.

Attorneys in the U.S. are now bracing themselves for a wave of patients looking for compensation due to the suffering caused by these implants.

Typically, compensation claims are being progressed by patients who have suffered from these main categories of problems, following their hip replacement surgery:

Swelling around the hip/leg
Dislocation of the hip implant
Loosening of the implant
Fracture of the hip bone
Serious or lingering pain
Implant failure which requires revision surgery

If you have had hip replacement surgery and suffered any kind of complications, there is now an easy way to see if you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation - especially if it is related to the Johnson & Johnson DePuy hip replacement recall.
