The recent DePuy ASR Recall may effect you in more ways than one. If you have had hip replacement surgery from 2003-2010, you may be the recipient of a DePuy hip that has been recalled due to its dangerous and deadly side effects. If tihs is the case, you will have to undergo a painful revision surgery to replace your current implant. Although DePuy Orthopedics has agreed to cover any cost for additional testing and surgery, you may still be entitled to compensation for you injury. The side effects associated with these hips range from pain and swelling to dislocation and metallosis. If you are feeling any pain or concerns over this, contact your doctor immediately to determine if you have in fact received a DePuy ASR XL Acetabular hip or a DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing system.
