Will a Campaign by Depuy Fix the 2010 Recall?
Will a Campaign by Depuy Fix the 2010 Recall?
(September 28, 2011) The Hip Recall that took place in August of 2010, regarding the Depuy ASR XL Acetabular Cup System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System made by Depuy, Orthopedics, Inc. had people wondering if they can ever again believe in their devices. The Depuy Hip Recall threw a devastating blow at the renowned parent business of Johnson and Johnson Services, Inc. and has left Johnson and Johnson attempting to look for means of reassuring the community that the Hip Replacement Recall really should no longer an issue.
According to sources, Depuy Orthopedic plans to initiate a marketing campaign known as “Anatomy of Movement Experience” in hopes of getting back in the general public’s good graces. The goal of the touring exhibit is be a “[I]s an educational initiative that explores many facets of joint disease and treatment and serves as a platform for those who have undergone hip or knee replacement surgery to share their journeys with others who are considering that path. These patients illustrate how hip or knee replacements stand up to the rigors of daily life and inspire confidence in people living with severe knee or hip pain to talk with a doctor about a solution that is right for them.” In other words, they plan to have those who have had positive experiences from their hip replacement implants reassure those who may possibly be taking into consideration one.
While not every person that has had hip replacement surgery utilizing Depuy’s ASR XL Acetabular Cup System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System has involved a second surgical procedure or suffered from the severe complications that have arisen from defective products, Depuy cannot deny the Hip Implant Recall that took place. Some of the difficulties of the Depuy hip implants are: pain, swelling within just the region, trouble walking, decreased range of movement, discomfort and clicking noises brought on by the ball and socket grinding, dislocation and bone loss (just to name but a few). So, while Depuy may have best intentions with this campaign, it does not change the fact that many people have already suffered from severe complications as well as many needing a second hip replacement surgery.
If you have any legal questions concerning the Depuy Hip Recall, then contacting a Hip Recall Attorney could be in your best interest. Any time the Food and Drug Administration issues a warning on a medical appliance, there should be a great cause for concern especially like the one issued for the Hip Replacement Recall.
