Repeat Surgeries Cause Pain and Outrage

posted in by Admin on January 27th, 2012

Imagine that you are 75 years old. You have, for the past ten years put up with debilitating pain in your hips. Following a diagnosis of arthritis, you carefully considered having a hip replacement surgery. Balancing the drawbacks of the recovery time and the risks associated with a major surgery against the obvious benefit of pain-free mobility, you chose to have surgery. Today, your outrage at the increased pain you are experiencing as a result of the faulty DePuy hip that you received is indescribable, but even worse is the prospect of having to undergo a revision surgery. You have a DePuy hip recall lawyer to help you find some financial compensation. You are not alone; these devices are failing at a rate of 13% and over 93,000 people have them.
