Knowing that a hip replacement surgery is the best, and perhaps the only answer to their health problems, people with hip disorders resort to this procedure without a lot of doubts. Ideally, this operation has a good prognosis. With the entry of DePuy’s defective hip implants to the market, however, the expected prognosis shifts from good to bad.

Or even worse. To the surprise of thousands of their implants’ recipients, DePuy does not actually guarantee the consumers of these products. Their flawed products, for that matter. A lot of manufacturers of defibrillators and other body implants even offer warranties that last for years. After all, the patients benefit from these, and not just the other way around. DePuy, on the contrary, does not. If you think closely, DePuy actually gains more profit with their defective implants. They sell such products at full price with a very expensive rate, often leaving the consumer with no less than a few pennies in the pocket. Seeing that they are up for grabs in the market, who would know that they are actually flawed?

Believing that the government has executed measures to effectively address this concern, the 2010 Health Care Reform Bill makes that thought quite hazy. It does not state anything about resolving conflicts on implants with no warranties--at all. In fact, it even orders the placement of tax on them. Do the math about the taxation, and you will be overwhelmed with the figures in the next ten years or so.

Purchasing a hip implant so expensive is definitely not worth it, especially when your hopes are so high after surgery. Do not let DePuy get away with their negligence and irresponsibility. As early as now, you ought to consult a hip recall lawyer to assist, guide and defend you against those who violated your rights.
