For many patients who suffered from severe hip pain, the DePuy ASR hip implant offered hope for improved durability over other hip replacement systems. Unfortunately, the device did not live up to its promises. Instead, the patients received the opposite of what they were promised: premature wear and follow-up surgeries to replace the devices.
At the law office of Joseph J. Reinke in Oklahoma City, our personal injury lawyers represent victims of all types of defective medical devices, including the DePuy hip replacement system. We offer a free initial consultation to explain your legal options and answer your questions.
If you received a defective hip implant, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability, and other damages. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so until we win a favorable judgment or settlement in your case, you will not have to pay attorney fees.
Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement Was Untested
DePuy Orthopedics, a division of Johnson and Johnson, claimed that its metal-on-metal hip replacement design would outlast other hip implants. However, this claim was made without proper clinical trials. Within a few years of installing the devices, patients experienced debilitating health issues such as infections and damage to tissue and bone caused by metal debris. The device has subsequently been recalled.
When we undergo surgery, we know that there are risks and a positive outcome is not guaranteed. However, when installing an untested device in our body leads to painful bone damage and the need for follow-up surgeries, our lawyers can work with highly qualified experts to create a compelling case of negligence on the part of the manufacturer. We will put our knowledge and experience to work for you to help you pursue full and fair compensation for the hardships you have suffered.
