How To Tell If Your DePuy Hip Implant Is Defective
Prior to your hip replacement procedure, your surgeon should have discussed different hip replacement options with you. DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., is a unit of the Johnson and Johnson Company. Their faulty metal-on-metal hip replacement devices first became available July 2003.
Since the DePuy hip replacement devices began exhibiting problems, recipients have complained about a number of common symptoms:
- Unexplained or surprising hip pain
- Swelling of the hip
- Pain in the thigh or groin area
- Problems sitting or crouching
- Pain experienced when walking
- Pain experienced at the hip when bearing weight
Many of these symptoms have appeared in DePuy hip replacement recipients as early as a few years after the devices were implanted. If you have experienced these systems, a second hip replacement "revision" surgery may be necessary. If you are uncertain of the type of hip replacement device you have received, immediately contact our office so that we can help determine whether or not you have received a defective DePuy Hip Replacement.
