August 26, 2010 by MassDevice staff
DePuy Orthopedics pulls its ASR XL acetabular hip replacement and resurfacing system off the market due to a high rate of revision surgeries.
DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. is voluntarily recalling its ASR hip replacement system after receiving reports that a higher-than-normal number of patients required surgeries to correct or remove defective implants.
The Warsaw, Ind.-based Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiary is pulling its ASR XL Acetabular and ASR Hip Resurfacing systems from the market "due to the number of patients who required a second hip replacement procedure, called a revision surgery," according to a press release.
