Hip replacement surgery is a procedure often offered to patients as a last resort treatment to relieve unbearable pain most often caused by osteoarthritis, as well as rheumatoid arthritis, injury and other ailments.
The primary benefits of hip replacement surgery can include pain relief, better mobility and functionality. However, the side effects can include serious risks, especially for patients who receive the DePuy ASR and Pinnacle and other metal-on-metal hip replacements.
DePuy ASR hip replacements have a high failure rate within five years or less, when the product is expected to last 10 to 15 years. Pinnacle hip replacements can cause osteolysis, osteomyelitis, revision surgery, hip, thigh and groin pain, severe swelling, disabling pain, loosening of implant and early failure.
