DePuy Pinnacle Hip Implants Attorneys Serving Nationwide

Sales of the DePuy Pinnacle hip replacement have been suspended in the United States since many doctors have reported a substantially higher need for revisions and further hip surgery. There have also been numerous patient complaints of crippling pain they experienced following their implantation with this defective device. For more than two years there have been reports of the DePuy Pinnacle hip implants failing in patients only a few years after implant, requiring costly and painful replacement operations.

In addition to a mounting number of DePuy ASR lawsuits filed in recent months over their recalled metal-on-metal hip replacement, DePuy Orthopaedics and Johnson & Johnson are now facing lawsuits over their DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip replacement, which also allegedly has design defects that may make it prone to early failure.

On March 9, 2010, DePuy announced that it was pulling the DePuy ASR Hip Replacement off of the U.S. market because the device appears to have a high failure rate. FDA Adverse Event Reports documents problems with the DePuy ASR cup such as the failure of the DePuy ASR to bond, and surgeons finding that the cup is loose during revision surgery.

Patients suffering from the financial, physical and emotional burdens caused by the DePuy hip replacement devices should contact an attorney about their rights.

Device Makers’ Offers to Cover Expenses May Not Cover All of Them
