Johnson and Johnson, at the time of writing this article, estimates that an astounding 4 in 10 of their Depuy ASR metal on metal hip implant devices will fail within five years of implantation. The company now faces around 10,000 lawsuits over the ASR hip devices.

Metal on metal hip implants like the Depuy ASR were supposed to be more stable, have less friction, and last longer. Unfortunately that hasn't turned out to be the case and the very high failure rate of 4 in 10 devices within 5 years is an unforeseen and serious problem.

After recognizing the high failure rate of metal on metal hip implants, the FDA recommended that all patients be seen for evaluation of their hip implant devices every one to two years, regardless of whether they are showing any symptoms of device failure, such as: swelling, increased pain, or other abnormalities.

For patients with increased pain or other hip related difficulties, the FDA recommends that patients be evaluated every 3-6 months. The FDA provides a specific and lengthy set of recommendations for these post implant evaluations. If you have a metal on metal implant device, you should ask your Dr. for a printout of the FDA's follow-up recommendations for patients with metal on metal hip implants such as the Depuy ASR.

Premature wear of metal on metal hip implant devices can cause metallic particles to be introduced into the body. This type of premature wear can cause abnormally high levels of metals in the bloodstream such as cobalt and chromium; a potentially serious health condition generally known as metalosis. For patients that are experiencing problems with their implant device, the FDA recommends blood testing to determine if the levels of metal circulating in your blood are abnormally high.

It is important that you take the time to understand the potential long term health impact of your metal on metal hip implant device. Even if you are not experiencing health problems now, you may develop them in the future. Please contact us for assistance with your legal rights related to your metal on metal hip implant.

Did you have hip replacement surgery involving implantation of the DePuy ASR (Articular Surface Replacement)?

Many of these devices may fail, requiring remedial surgeries. FDA has received numerous reports about the early breakdown of this device.

DePuy ASR Hip Implants are now the subject of many lawsuits. The Mulligan Law Firm is active in this litigation and would like to speak with you if you or a loved one suffered from a failed DePuy ASR implant, or a failed implant of any kind. Metal on Metal implants of various kinds are linked to various side effects experienced by many patients.

What are the ASR Hip Implant Side-Effects?

  • The cup that has been implanted loosens or fails to bond.
  • Excessive metal debris collects in the socket, a condition called Metallosis.
  • This excess metal debris can also result in a pseudotumour, a soft tissue mass that may be the result of a toxic reaction to the excess bits of metal.
  • An adverse tissue reaction to metal particles and ions can occur, referred to as ALVAL: Aseptic Lymphocyte Dominated Vasculitis Associated Lesion.

The result of these side-effects is that a painful and expensive surgery intended to last at least a decade ends up needing revision within two or three years, sometimes even sooner.
