Both the ASR XL Acetabular Hip implant system and the ASR Hip Resurfacing system have been found to fail in approximately 1 in 8 patients after about 5 years. Signs and Symptoms of a hip implant failure include pain, weakness in the load bearing joint, edema, blood toxicity, metallosis, and chromium poisoning.
In 2006 the patient received an ASR DePuy hip replacement system from his California based orthopaedist. When his hip replacement later failed, he sued his orthopedist for breach of fiduciary duty. The orthopaedist should have disclosed to the patient that he was receiving money from DePuy in the form of royalty payments. These royalty payments are estimated to be in the neighborhood of $10 million.
