Miami Defective Medical Product and Implant Attorneys
DePuy Orthopedics, which is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, has had to recall more than 93,000 of its hip replacement systems, including the ASR total and partial hip replacement systems that have been solid across the United States and worldwide. Many of the people who have received these implants will require expensive surgery to repair the damage, which also carries health risks.
What is wrong with the DePuy ASR hip replacement? The cause of the system failures are the defective design of the ASR hip replacement cup, which is shallower than most other systems and does not always adhere to the bone. This can result in pain and difficulty walking for those who are impacted by the defective design, as well as other negative impacts.

Many lawsuits have already been filed against DePuy.
