If you have undergone a hip replacement surgery since 2003, check with your surgeon to see if you were implanted with a DePuy ASR hip replacement system. These devices were recalled during 2010 due to a high failure incidence, resulting in metallic debris in the hip joint which causes pain and joint damage. Around 13% of these devices have been found to fail, so you may not necessarily have a problem with yours. If you do start to experience pain, contact a personal injury lawyer to look into pursuing a DePuy hip recall lawsuit. Lawyers have been successful in reaching advantageous settlements for their clients based on the fact that DePuy knew the devices were faulty long before recalling them.
