WHY WERE THESE DEPUY IMPLANTS USED IN THE FIRST PLACE?<\/h2>\n

DePuy hip implants are total joint replacement (TJR) systems. TJR is also known as arthroplasty and utilizes modern polymers and metals combined with advanced techniques to create artificial joints capable of mimicking the natural actions of the human body while alleviating the extreme pain caused by musculoskeletal conditions such as hip damage caused by a serious injury or by conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.<\/p>\n

WHY WOULD SOMEONE NEED A TJR IMPLANT?<\/h2>\n

Serious injury and aging are the main reasons someone would undergo a joint replacement procedure. There are more than half a million of these procedures performed every year. Musculoskeletal conditions are the most common worldwide cause of severe, long-term pain and physical disability, accounting for $254 billion in medical expenditures in the United States every year.<\/p>\n

WHAT HIP REPLACEMENT SYSTEMS WERE RECALLED?<\/h2>\n

The hip implant recall covers 93,000<\/strong> replacement systems and more than 29 different models of hip replacement implants.<\/p>\n
