Arizona Hip and Joint Replacement Lawyers

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Americans undergo a hip or knee replacement procedure. Injuries or arthritis in hip and knee joints can cause walking, standing, and other activities to be very painful. For most of these patients, replacement of their hip or knee joint with an artificial joint provides years of pain free activity.

In a small percentage of cases, the patient may experience problems with the artificial joint such as loosening of the joint or dislocation of the ball. While these complications are expected, there are some patients who experience complications including severe pain that are due to defective design or manufacture of the joint. If you received one of these defective products, you may be entitled to compensation.

Phoenix DePuy ASR and Zimmer Durom Hip Lawsuits

There are several artificial hip and knee devices that are known to cause serious problems due to defective design. The DuPuy ASR artificial hip implant was used in over 90,000 hip replacements since 2005. After hundreds of complaints about pain and inflammation from patients who had the DuPuy ASR hip implanted, they were recalled in 2010 and taken off the market.

A design defect in the DuPuy ASR causes wear in the metal to metal mating surfaces of the joint creating small metal particles that causes inflammation, pain, swelling, bone damage, and other problems. Approximately 1 out of 8 patients experience failure of the DuPuy ASR joint and have to have the joint replaced.
