  • Thousands of “Adept” Faulty Hip Implants Recalled by DePuy ASR Hip Manufacturers, Johnson & Johnson

Thousands of “Adept” Faulty Hip Implants Recalled by DePuy ASR Hip Manufacturers, Johnson & Johnson

Johnson & Johnson has again recalled thousands of its hip implants, two and a half years after they issued a recall of the DePuy ASR hips.

The company has recalled the “Adept” brand all-metal total hip replacement system starting last month because a higher-than-expected percentage of them had to be replaced. Such replacements, called revision surgeries, are usually needed when an artificial joint starts causing pain, difficulty walking or other problems.

Johnson & Johnson have recalled all 7,500 Adept implants shipped worldwide between 2004 and September 2011 after a registry in the United Kingdom found that 12.1 percent of patients needed their implants replaced within seven years, while a registry in Australia found 7.1 percent of patients needed replacements within three years.

These hip replacements were sold in 21 countries and initial enquiries show that they may have been used in Ireland.
