New Jersey Hip And Joint Replacement Lawyers

New Jersey Hip and Joint Replacement Lawyers

Patients who receive hip or knee replacements expect relief from chronic, debilitating joint pain. Joint replacement is major surgery and requires 8 to 12 weeks of recovery and physical therapy, but for most patients the pain and discomfort of surgery and physical therapy is worth it. These patients experience welcome relief from debilitating pain in their knees or hips damaged by arthritis or injury that made it very difficult to walk, stand, or do many of their normal daily activities.

However, other patients are not as fortunate. For these patients, hip or knee replacement surgery is the beginning of months or even years of painful surgeries and chronic hip and knee pain due to the failure of the replacement hip joint or knee joint. While a certain small percentage of joint failures are anticipated, some artificial joints have a much higher failure rate than similar joints.

Newark DePuy ASR and Zimmer Durom Hip Lawsuits

The DePuy ASR hip replacement system is one such prosthetic hip joint that has been reported to have a failure rate twice as high as other hip joints. According to medical reports and orthopedic surgeons, the DePuy ASR hip replacement system can become loose or dislocated, causing pain and discomfort to the patient. According to DePuy itself, one out of eight patients who receive a DePuy ASR hip will need one or more revision surgeries to repair or replace the failed joint.

Reports indicate that Zimmer NexGen knee replacements experience similar high failure rates with the joint becoming loose and causing severe pain to the patient. Again, painful revision surgery is required to repair or replace the joint.
