Depuy Hip Implant Recall

Hip implant device

No Longer Accepting Cases

Products Recalled by Johnson & Johnson

Released court documents show that Johnson & Johnson was well-aware that 40% of the Depuy Hip Implants would fail within five years.

The Depuy Orthopedics unit of Johnson & Johnson has put forth what they call a voluntary recall of their ASR XL Acetabular System and its Depuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System. Before the Depuy hip recall, Depuy was selling these products since 2005 advertising the ASR XL as a “high-performance hip replacement”. They stated that the surgery only needed a minor incision and was based on a convincing clinical study. Unfortunately the ASR hip systems did not achieve what they promised and in early 2010, Depuy took out all the remaining ASR hip replacements from inventory.

In August 2010, Depuy received new and then unpublished data from the National joint registry in England showing that the revision rate of 5 years for the ASR Hip Resurfacing system is around 12 percent and 13 percent for the ASR XL Acetabular System. This meant that a higher number of ASR patients than previously reported to Depuy needed a second revision surgery.

Disappointingly, these products did not prove to work as the clinical study assured. The high demand for revision surgeries has caused the Depuy hip lawsuits all over the country. ASR patients who needed a revision surgery described symptoms such as pain, swelling and problems walking.
