(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 13, 2011 ) New York, NY – Patients who have experienced problems with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System have reported a number of symptoms which could indicate hip implant loosening, dislocation or other complications. Difficulty walking, decreased ability for physical activity, and pain in the hip, groin, leg or back pain are among the symptoms associated with DePuy hip implant problems. Other symptoms of DePuy hip implant complications may include swelling and discomfort, a feeling that the hip is not “in place”, and an audible clicking, popping or crunching sound. If you have been implanted with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and have experienced any of these symptoms, visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-asr-hip-implant.html and complete the free case evaluation form to find out if you are entitled to compensation for your DePuy hip problems.
Hip pain, swelling and trouble walking are common symptoms reported by patients who have recently undergone a hip replacement procedure. However, should these symptoms persist or recur, they may indicate a more serious problem, such as hip implant loosening. Because the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System have been linked to a high five-year revision surgery rate, patients who are experiencing unusual symptoms should contact their hip surgeon who can monitor the hip replacement and order additional testing to determine how well the implant is functioning. In some cases, patients who experienced DePuy hip problems required a second hip replacement procedure, also known as a revision surgery.
In light of the DePuy hip implant recall, patients who have been implanted with either recalled ASR system may be entitled to compensation. If you have been implanted with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, visit Class Action.org today and complete the free case evaluation form to find out if you can participate in a DePuy hip implant lawsuit to recover compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and other damages. The DePuy hip attorneys working with the site are offering this online case review at no charge, and remain dedicated to protecting the rights of patients who have experienced DePuy hip problems.
