Second time around…
If you have been implanted with an ASR unit from DePuy Orthopedics, you should know about its worldwide recall by now. These devices have been recalled due to their dangerous and deadly side effects and recipients will most likely need a revision surgery to correct the damage.
A major concern of these hips are the metal flakes that break off as a result of the metal on metal design. These flakes can get absorbed in the bloodstream and cause pseudotumors which are very painful and lead to swelling. Surgeons however, report that when metal particles are present, a procedure to replace an implant can be much more involved and can leave patients with more serious complications.
You should speak with a lawyer regarding the hip replacement recall to learn more information on the compensation that might be awarded to you.
