In 2005, DePuy Hip Implants were approved for use to replace damaged hip sockets. The DePuy ASR Hip Replacement Systems are part of a metal-on-metal bearings class of joint replacement systems. In some cases this type of hip replacement system can cause hip problems. In August 2010, 93,000 hip replacement systems were recalled due to a number of people experiencing pain and swelling so severe that a second hip replacement surgery became necessary.
Problems with DePuy Hip Implant include swelling, pain, and difficulty walking. Persistent symptoms can signal a loose or detached implant, fracture of the bone around it, or dislocation of the implant’s components.
