subject: Unexpected Hip Replacement Problems Are The Cause Of Great Pain In Many Patients [print this page] Many individuals that have recently had artificial hip surgery are now experiencing hip replacement problems that are causing even greater pain than they had before their operation. The past decade has seen the release of two hip implant devices that have since come under a tremendous amount of scrutiny because of the hip replacement problems they've caused. The ASR hip resurfacing system from DePuy Orthopedics and the Durom Cup from Zimmer Orthopedics are now widely believed to be defective by those in the medical community.
In the case of the former, there has been a hip replacement recall for the DePuy implant. Regarding the latter, sales of the Durom Cup were temporarily suspended and while it's since been put back on the market, there are many who believe a complete Zimmer recall should be formally announced. There has been a much higher rate of failure with the Zimmer hip replacement and hip replacement problems caused by the DePuy implant have come as the result of an extremely high amount of metal debris that breaks off of the device and enters the bloodstream of patients.
These side effects have caused serious health issues in patients and they have to undergo revision surgery to correct their hip replacement problems. That is not the kind of news these individuals want to hear, particularly so close to their original surgery. It's for this reason that many are now seeking the advice of a hip replacement lawyer to determine if they have grounds for a hip lawsuit against either of these companies. The potential for these hip replacement problems should have been discovered before the devices were put on the market and since they were not, the orthopedics companies should be held accountable for the damage they've caused.
