Baton Rouge DePuy ASR and Zimmer Durom Hip Lawsuits

Artificial hips typically last about 15 years, but an unusually high number of patients who had DePuy ASR hip replacements or Zimmer Durom cups implanted have experienced failure of the device in five years or less. DePuy has recalled its ASR hip replacement system due to the high failure rate. Over 90,000 DePuy replacement hips have been implanted and according to DePuy, one out of eight of these patients will require revision surgery to repair or replace the device.

Patients with a failed Depuy ASR hip may experience hip pain and discomfort when walking or standing, swelling, inflammation, and other complications. The device may become loosened or dislocated and can cause bone fractures. There have also been reports of small metal particles becoming dislodged from the device which inflame nearby tissue.

Louisiana Attorneys Who Handle Zimmer NexGen Knee Lawsuits

Patients who received Zimmer NexGen knee replacements have also experienced a higher failure rate. Various components from these systems have been recalled by Zimmer to correct problems with these knee replacement systems. Various studies have reported that these systems can become loose at the point where they attach to the femur, causing severe pain and requiring revision surgery.

Some very experienced orthopedic surgeons report similar experiences with their patients. Our Louisiana law firm represents patients with failed replacement hips and knees on a contingent fee basis. We collect our fees only after successfully obtaining compensation for our clients.
