DePuy Pinnacle Problems

DePuy Pinnacle Complaints

While a recall has not been issued, the FDA has received numerous DePuy Pinnacle complaints from patients who were implanted with the metal-on-metal Acetabular cup system. The DePuy Pinnacle complaints cited problems similar to those experienced by individuals implanted with the ASR implants, which were withdrawn from the market in an August 2010 DePuy hip implant recall. Patients implanted with the DePuy Pinnacle device complained of hip implant failure, metal poisoning, pain and dislocation, with several of these individuals requiring revision surgery to treat the complications.

DePuy Hip Implant Recall

In August 2010, a DePuy hip implant recall was issued to remove the ASR XL system and ASR hip resurfacing system from the market. The DePuy hip replacement recall was issued after data revealed that more patients than expected experienced pain and other symptoms which led to a second hip replacement procedure, also known as a revision surgery. This DePuy hip recall has led many patients to ask questions about their DePuy Pinnacle hip implants.

Although a DePuy Pinnacle hip recall has not been issued, the hip replacement, when used with a metal liner, may cause complications seen among the recalled ASR devices. The following are among reported DePuy Pinnacle complaints:

• Hip pain
• DePuy Pinnacle failure
• Elevated metallic levels
• Need for a second hip replacement surgery
• Hip implant loosening
• Difficulty walking or standing
