Dr. Jacobs added that the DePuy recall pointed to the importance of having a national registry for joint implants that can serve as an early warning system for product problems. Britain, Australia and some other countries have such national registries, he said, but the reporting system currently used by the F.D.A. does not necessarily capture every device failure.

The ASR hip replacement is a metal-on-metal device believed to have a design flaw that has resulted in many patients needing follow-up hip revision surgery to replace the device soon after implant. The ASR is considered by a number of orthopedic experts to be a defective product and DePuy hip replacement lawsuits are currently pending.

The typical life expectancy of a metal-on-metal hip implant device is 15 years. However, the DePuy ASR Hip Implant devices are failing at a much higher rate and much earlier than other metal-on-metal hip implant devices.

DePuy Orthopaedics pulled the ASR from Australia in December 2009 and from the US in March 2010, but the Johnson and Johnson hip replacement recall follows more than two years of complaints from patients who needed costly and painful hip revision surgery within a few years of receiving the ASR implant.

In the latest Johnson & Johnson case, DePuy said in a statement that it was recalling two products: the ASR XL Acetabular System, a hip socket used in traditional hip replacement, and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, a partial hip replacement that involves placing a metal cap on the ball of the femur, a method intended to preserve more bone. The traditional implant has been available worldwide, and the resurfacing implant was approved for use in countries outside the United States.

According to The New York Times, other problems associated with the DePuy metal on metal implant include the potential for generating large amounts of metal debris during normal wear and tear, which can negatively impact soft tissue and evolve into a health issue for some patients.

Most Depuy implants have been proven to have design flaws (according to orthopedic experts). They are not only very hard to implant properly, they are also known to cause other problems such as the risk of generating lots of metal debris throughout its use. Their product can also impact soft tissues negatively.

This expedited FDA approval process, commonly known as the 510(k) Process, allows medical devices to avoid the rigorous clinical trials if the manufacturer can show that the device is "substantially equivalent" to other medical devices already approved by the FDA. DePuy persuaded the FDA that the ASR XL Hip System was similar to previously approved metal-on-metal hip implants. DePuy claimed that the ASR XL Hip System did not "raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness."
