Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Orthopedics, Inc. has Recalled it's ASR XL Acetabular System
DePuy Orthopedics, Inc., the orthopedic division of Johnson and Johnson, has issued a recall of two artificial hip implant components. This type of metal on metal hip implants have ball and socket joints that are made from metals such as cobalt and chromium. As the metal components rub against each other in a typical joint fashion, they shed metallic particles into the patient's body, causing inflammation, pain, possible death of tissue in the hip joint, and even loss of surrounding bone.
DePuy's August 24, 2010 letter to clinicians stated:
"Reasons for revision ... include component loosening, component malalignment, infection, fracture of the bone, dislocation, metal sensitivity and pain."
It further states that a "number of patients may develop progressive soft tissue reactions to metal wear debris. The debris can cause soft tissue damage which may compromise the results of the revision surgery."
See full August 24, 2010 letter from DePuy Orthopedics, Inc.
DePuy has sold approximately 93,000 of this type of artificial hip implant. It is unknown how many of the patients, in which these hips were implanted, will require additional surgery to replace them.
If you have suffered a failed hip implant, contact us for a free consultation.
