Grievous Side Effects
Defective Hip Replacement Recall implants have caused pain, suffering, and additional surgery for many recipients. The Recall Hip Replacement devices are the ASR units and are in a class of hip replacement products known as metal-on-metal hip implants. Recipients of the ASR Hip Replacement Recall implants can be injured when the hip replacement units begin to deteriorate prematurely. As they do, they can release particles of toxic metal debris into the surrounding tissues and bloodstream, causing inflammatory reactions (characterized by swelling and tumors) along with death of tissue in the hip joint, pain in the groin, and loss of surrounding bone. Some devices even fail completely by coming loose, causing the bone around the implant to fracture. It is this failure that resulted in the Recall Hip Replacements. Recall Hip Replacement devices much more often need “revision” due to dislocation than because of issues caused by metallic debris. Surgeons report that when metal particles are present, a procedure to replace an implant can be much more involved and can leave patients with more serious complications.
