subject: Need For Registering In National Hip Recall Registry [print this page] DePuy hip recall Most of the people in United States would be familiar with this term for the past few months. Majority of the patients, who underwent DePuy hip replacement surgeries after 2003, are said to have been implanted with defective and dangerous hip replacement products. Recent studies indicate that the five year failure rate of this product is approximately 13% that is 1 in 8 patients. With a hip recall, those patients who have undergone a hip surgical procedure to replace a hip might have to undergo a revision or a second surgery. But where and how could a patient get information and knowledge about hip recalls? As there is no centralized database of Hip Implant patients, there is no way of providing them with information on warnings and recalls concerning their hip implant. A central registry with better communications is especially important to serve on this purpose.
Thanks to National Hip Recall Registry and its services, anyone can communicate and gain critical information regarding hip recalls. National Hip Recall Registry is a leading online medical advisory website that was typically developed for purpose of providing information regarding hip recalls directly from FDA and hip manufacturers. It has been reported that defective hip systems have been so far implanted in a total of 93,000 patients. It is really hard for maintaining the details of all these patients manually in records. To overcome this, National Hip Registry creates a database which maintains the details of each patient who needs to have a hip recall. Once a patient registers in this National Hip Registry, each time there is a notification or warning about hip recall, he/she gets automated alerts from National Hip Recall Registry. Registrants also have the option of being completely anonymous and providing information as much as they wish.
Patients with serious adverse effects including product errors and product quality problems associated with hip implantation are urged to notify the FDA directly via the FDA Medwatch website. National Hip Recall Registry was developed to serve the patients without bias of the surgeons or Hip manufactures. In addition to all hip warnings and information, you can also gain information concerning health related issues, if registered in National Hip Recall Registry. The Hip Recall Registry is not associated with any Hip Manufacture or Government Agency and is estimated to reach 80% of patients within the next 12 months.
