Ohio Defective Hip Implant Attorney
DePuy hip replacement orthopedic implant is a multi-component device designed to replace the femoral head, as it fits into the acetabular socket of the pelvis. Implants manufactured prior to July of 2003 are known to cause unforeseen side effects in the implant region of the pelvis, often involving swelling, chronic pain and immobility, as the components fall out of alignment.
The FDA initially approved the two-part system, but discovered later that Johnson & Johnson, the parent company of DePuy, relied on some test data that did not include revisions to the components. Although the FDA approved the orthopedic device, it does not remove Johnson & Johnson or its subsidiary manufacturers from liability for injuries to patients. Because of the FDA warnings about possible injuries and complications leading to a high number of revision surgeries, DePuy has offered to pay for revision surgery for patients who received the defective implant.
