Hip replacement is a serious procedure that can greatly increase your mobility or negatively affect your health. When the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System (metal on metal) was made available to hip replacement patients in 2005, many thought that the miracle of the decade had been created for people who suffered from severe hip pain. Unfortunately, problems with the DePuy medical device became apparent when hip replacement patients began to complain of nerve damage, swelling, tissue damage (necrosis) and elevated levels of metal ions in the blood. Many patients who suffered these conditions required revision surgery to correct misalignment, bone fractures, and other medical conditions associated with the device failure.
In March 2010, lawsuits began to pour in. Many sufferers are seeking compensation for their medical costs, and pain and suffering. If you are one of the 93,000+ patients who received a DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System, you have the right to compensation.
