Depuy ASR Hip Cup Revision


A DePuy Hip Recall Has Not Occurred As Of This Time



The DePuy ASR hip cup is under investigation by the hip implant lawyers at the Johnson Law Firm


depuy_asr_hip_lawyers_wat.jpgPatients with the Depuy ASR ACETABULAR CUP revisions should contact us about their rights.  Depuy markets the ASR hip cup under the brand name ASR (Articular Surface Replacement). The DePuy ASR™ System is a large diameter, high performance metal-on-metal hip resurfacing device.   

Numerous FDA reports of patients with loose DePuy ASR Acetabular Cups have been made by doctors after performing revision surgery.  

The ASR hip cup revision reports also mention instances of loosening, pseudotumour and metallosis / (sic) metalosis. Surgeons have noted upon revsion that the DePuy ASR hip cup was “loose and easy to revise” and “the cup popped right out. There was no evidence of any bony ingrowth.” This is in spite of the surgeon’s prerevision observation that  “The patient was revised to address complaint of extreme pain when weight bearing. X-rays looked good, and cup was in position.”

We are not aware of any DePuy ASR hip class action at this time but we are investigating DePuy ASR hip lawsuits for patients who have had a revision of the ASR hip implant. Our DePuy ASR lawyers are experienced in handling hip cases.

MEDICAL DEVICE ALERT

The MHRA, an executive agency of the Department of Health has issued a Medical Device Alert for the Depuy ASR Acetabular Cup:

  • 2,769 primary hip replacements were reported to the NJR for the DePuy ASRTM acetabular cups used with surface replacement heads between 01 April 2001 and 31 March 2010. The NJR prediction for expected revisions for this type of device was 80 but the actual reported revisions were 130.

  • 3,155 primary hip replacements were reported to the NJR for the DePuy ASRTM acetabular cups used with extra large femoral heads between 01 April 2001 and 31 March 2010. The NJR prediction for expected revisions for this type of device was 85 but the actual reported revisions were 126.

The cause of the DePuy ASR Cup hip implant failures is under investigation.   Abnormally high metal ions in surrounding tissue has been noted in some cases.  This may cause an adverse reaction in the surrounding tissue and bone that prevents the cup from bonding. The DePuy ASR System’s release of the metal ions may be the result of wear on the bearing surface between the femur cap and the DePuy ASR acetabular cup.

A DePuy ASR recall has not yet occurred, however there are hundreds of FDA Adverse Event Reports documenting problems with the DePuy ASR cup such as the failure of the DePuy ASR to bond, and surgeons finding that the cup is loose during revision surgery.  A DePuy ASR recall by the FDA is something that the FDA may consider as the adverse events and published medical articles continue to document the problems with the DePuy ASR hip cup, but no DePuy ASR recall by FDA has occurred yet.

DePuy ASR hip patients have been described as having ALVAL (aseptic lymphocyte dominated vasculitis associated lesion), adverse tissue reactions to metal particles and ions, and pseudotumour (a soft tissue mass that may be the result of a toxic reaction to an excess of particulate metal wear debris).
