Hip Contaminations

Toxic metal particles have been found in the joints and muscles of patients who have received the DePuy ASR hip resurfacing system and ASR XL acetabular total hip replacement system. The accumulation of such metal can lead to pain, swelling, tenderness, and fluid retention. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, more serious complications include bone, muscle and nerve damage, tissue death, osteonecrosis, and bone loss.

Because DePuy implants in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are composed of metal components that rub against one another, metal particles are being discharged during use. While most patients are experiencing pain and swelling around the joint, it is not completely out of the question for a patient to fall victim of bone destruction and soft-tissue damage. According to company statistics, roughly 12% of all patients who received the ASR and ASR XL systems required a total hip replacement within five years and about 3.4% experienced adverse side effects because of toxic metal micro-particle contamination.

Recent Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey hip replacement and defective product lawsuits can cite negligence, construction defect, composition defect, design defect, strict products liability, inadequate warning, and breach of express warranty. Claimants are seeking compensation for both economic and non-economic losses including medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, loss of earning capacity, loss of companionship, loss of household services, punitive damages, and attorney fees.
