Massive Hip Recall Leads to National Litigation

DePuy Orthopedics perhaps made its biggest splash when it issued a global recall in August 2010 of two hip replacement devices, The ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. With approximately 93,000 patients worldwide having received an ASR device, the recall has led to slew of lawsuits filed by those who were injured by and suffered losses from one of the defective DePuy hips. These devices were recalled after data revealed that the devices fail prematurely in 1 in 8 recipients. A common claim among the lawsuits filed is that DePuy knew of problems with the ASR hips yet delayed in issuing a recall. This is a serious claim, but one that evidence appears to support.

American complaints

Between 2008 and the time the recall was issued, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received hundreds of complaints from ASR recipients, many of whom needed to have a second hip replacement surgery.

Australian recall/British data

In December 2009, a full eight months before it issued a worldwide ASR recall, DePuy pulled the devices off of the Australian market. Director of the National Joint Replacement Registry in Australia, Dr. Stephen Graves, said in response to the August recall, “It is a complete untruth that DePuy did not have reason to withdraw the ASR before now; we have been telling them since 2007, but they allowed it to be used on thousands of people.”

In March 2010, DePuy acknowledged that the Australian data indicated a higher-than-normal failure rate. But it wasn’t until similar data from the National Joint Registry of England and Wales surfaced that DePuy finally admitted fault and issued a recall.
It’s hard to ignore the reports of problematic ASR units that surfaced here in the United States and abroad. With lawsuits piling up worldwide, it seems that exactly what DePuy knew about the safety of its products, and when it knew it, is a matter to be decided by the courts.
