News Report - Real People Struggling with the Adverse Effects of Defective Metal-on-Metal Hip Implants

Over the last two years, Depuy's ASR hip implant has received nationwide attention. Depuy, the orthopedic division of Johnson & Johnson, recalled the faulty metal-on-metal hip replacement last August amid hundreds of lawsuits. The defective ASR hip implant was based on an earlier type of replacement. Because of this loophole, the ASR design did not have to go through the standard clinical trials required by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Many patients who received the now-defunct ASR hip implant have undergone a second surgery to have it removed. Other patients are awaiting revision surgery. These patients are suffering side effects from metal particles released into the body as the metal ball and socket grind against each other. One news station tells the story of a San Francisco woman dealing with excruciating pain from a faulty Depuy hip implant. Unfortunately, she is only one of tens of thousands of patients who received the recalled ASR hip replacement. For the aging U.S. population, thousands more patients may be at risk.
