The DePuy ASR - ASRXL / Pinnacle Hip Implants and Your Legal Rights The ASR hip cup is a metal-on-metal ball and socket, large diameter hip resurfacing device. DePuy, the company that manufactures the ASR hip cup (pronounced dee-pew), was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in 1998.
In addition to the DePuy ASR Acetabular hip replacement device, numerous hip replacement patients have complained of problems related to their DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular metal-on-metal hip replacement device.
DePuy ASR / ASRXL Hip Implant Side-Effects: The cause of the DePuy ASR / ASRXL Cup hip implant problem / failure issue is under investigation. Metal debris early in the placement of this implant may cause inflammation, leading to damaged muscles and soft tissue.
The result? An expensive and painful surgery intended to last at least a decade often requires revision within two to three years. Among the side-effects mentioned in the ASR / ASRXL hip cup revision reports: Implanted cup loosening or failing to bond ALVAL (Aseptic Lymphocyte Dominated Vasculitis Associated Lesion): an adverse tissue reaction to metal ions and particles. Metallosis: a condition of excessive metal debris. Pseudotumour: a soft tissue mass that may be the result of a toxic reaction to an excess of particulate metal wear debris.
