Although media attention has been focused on the DePuy ASR Acetabular Cup System recall this summer, patients who were implanted with the DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup System – also a metal on metal hip implant device – say that the latter may also be defective.
One DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup System patient blogged that she had a total hip replacement system in 2005 and that it has dislocated three times since then – all of which occurred while doing very simple tasks such as leaning forward, sitting down and straightening her legs. She, like many others, say that DePuy knew that these hip implant devices were defective, but that the company failed to warn them.
