The DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System (released worldwide in 2004) and ASR Hip Resurfacing System (released outside the U.S. in 2003) have been plagued with high failure rates.

Worse, 13% of patients who received the ASR XL Acetabular implant needed revision surgery (more...)
Clotting is a normal function of the body. It prevents blood from escaping the veins and arteries in the event of an injury. If you have suffered from a blood clot please contact us for the latest Nuvaring lawsuit settlements news and information. When a blood vessel suffers trauma, platelets arrive at the site and clump together while fibrin strands bind them. Once the vessel has been repaired, the body breaks the clots down in order to restore blood flow. Nuvaring side effects involving blood clots develop outside this natural mechanism. They form even though they are unnecessary. When the body (more...)
In the past, most hip replacement systems were designed with metal and plastic components. If you are affected by the DePuy hip replacement recall, please contact us for the latest DePuy lawsuit news. These are still popular today, even though the plastic piece tends to wear out quickly. Alternative designs using metal-and-ceramic and metal-on-metal constructions were introduced to improve the longevity of the prostheses. Metal, in particular, wears more slowly than plastic, which means the implant will last longer. The problem is that a metal-on-metal ball-and-cup design sheds metal ions – (more...)

Hip prostheses can be constructed from various materials, including plastic, ceramic, and metal. If you have experienced problems with your ASR hip, please contact us for the latest DePuy lawsuit settlement news and information. All generate a small amount of debris over time as the femoral head rotates within the acetabular component (cup). In most cases, the amount of debris is minimal, and seldom causes problems. Recipients may never experience side effects caused by the foreign particles. In the case of the DePuy ASR hip replacement system, the level of debris may be substantial. It can lead (more...)
Your pulmonary arteries carry blood from your heart’s right ventricle (lower chamber) to your lungs. Once blood has been replenished with oxygen, it returns to the left side of your heart. From there, it is circulated throughout your body to deliver oxygen to your organs and tissues. Nuvaring side effects involving a pulmonary embolism interrupts this mechanism, and can potentially damage your lung tissue. In extreme cases, the condition can also be fatal. If you have suffered from blood clots after using this birth control please contact us for the latest Nuvaring lawsuit news.
