People who underwent hip replacement surgeries would attest that recovery and rehabilitation is never easy for them. Having chronic pain after surgery then is unwelcome. Orthopedic surgeons claim that previous damage on the hip joint account for the pain and it is being compounded by the hip procedure. Unfortunately for those who have received the hip implants manufactured by DePuy Orthopaedics, they would have to suffer from more complications due to the inherent flaws found in two of its ASR hip replacements.

DePuy's neglect in providing durable and risk-free products prompted one woman in Texas to file a DePuy ASR lawsuit. She experienced pains and had to undergo several more revision surgeries because the defective ASRs would simply not do.

A person experiencing post-surgical pain would often consult their doctors regarding their condition hoping something can be done to alleviate the pain. However, most of them find themselves being given medication to relieve the pain instead to finding out what the source of pain was. Patients claim that tests would yield nothing and doctors would not do anything further to help them. On one hand, physicians would argue that there is no possible way of knowing where the pain came from since current MRI sequences cannot accomplish this.

Clearly, more studies to further current medical technology is needed to address this problem. But that does not excuse the fact that DePuy sold hip implants without testing them for safety. Persons who have had a hip replacement surgeries after 2003 have a chance of having received an ASR device. When you see that you did, contacting a product liability lawyer would be a wise next step. They offer free legal consultations to determine whether your claim hold validity. Visit the ASR Hip Recall information now for updates.
