DePuy NYC Hip Replacement Lawyer
For many, a hip replacement meant hope. It meant the relief from pain. It meant retaining the freedom to move around unaided. And it meant the ability to stay in the home instead of a nursing home.
That is why it was especially devastating when a hip replacement did not bring these things — when, instead, it caused serious personal injury due to medical complications. Because of defective DePuy ASR hip implants, thousands of otherwise hopeful people have instead experienced devastating pain and the need for additional hip surgery.

The Hip Replacement Recall
In August 2010, the medical equipment manufacturer DePuy issued a DePuy ASR hip recall for approximately 93,000 defective implants after data confirmed that the device had an unreasonably high rate of hip failure. Studies showed that the defective medical device often required individuals to undergo a second surgery to revise the original hip replacement.
If you are living with a DePuy hip implant, you should know the signs of a potential product defect. Look for unexplained hip pain and loosening of the hip. If you experience these, talk with your doctor and then the lawyers at Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman, P.C. You may be on the verge of hip failure and in need of an additional hip replacement or revision.
