A hip system may possibly be recalled by the manufacturer for a number of factors. If your device is recalled, this does not necessarily mean that the device needs to be removed and replaced. In some circumstances the recall just calls for distinct or much more frequent monitoring. It is important to talk about the reason for the recall with your surgeon to determine the most proper course of action. If you or someone you know have had a Depuy Hip implant learn more about the products that have been recalled.
DePuy ASR&trade XL Acetabular Plan
On August 24, 2010, there was a voluntary recall of the DePuy ASR&trade total hip approach due to the fact of new, unpublished info from the UK joint registry indicating the revision rates inside 5 years had been about 13 percent.
Zimmer Durom® Acetabular Component
On July 22, 2008, there was a voluntary recall of the Zimmer Durom® Acetabular Component (“Durom Cup”) simply because the directions for use/surgical technique instructions had been inadequate. People who have had one of these and other Depuy hip replacements may be interested in pursuing Depuy Hip litigation against the manufacturer.
