A Potential DePuy Pinnacle Recall Affects Hip Replacement Candidates
In the United States, an estimated 250,000 hip replacement surgeries are performed each year on patients of all age groups. With total hip replacement, damaged cartilage and bone of the hip joint is replaced with an artificial device that mimics those structures. This type of surgery is indicated in patients with degenerative arthritis, fractures secondary to osteoporosis, and other conditions that may damage the hip joint and cause pain severe enough to interrupt a patient’s normal daily functioning. Recipients of a DePuy Pinnacle hip replacement may be affected by a possible DePuy Pinnacle recall and a current consolidation of DePuy Pinnacle cases to the Northern District of Texas.
Total hip replacement surgery is most commonly done in patients with progressively severe arthritis of the hip joint. Osteoarthritis is the most common class of arthritis indicated for total hip replacement surgery. The main cause of primary osteoarthritis is aging and occurs more frequently in elderly patients. Secondary osteoarthritis is due to other diseases or conditions, which include obesity, repeated trauma, surgery to joint structures, congenital abnormalities, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and other hormone disorders. Total hip replacement is indicated in patients with osteoarthritis when there is progressively intense chronic pain and the impairment of daily functioning, which includes walking, climbing stairs, and even rising from a sitting position.
Patients suffering from a hip fracture are also indicated for hip replacement surgery. The population more at risk for hip fractures are the elderly, especially those with co-morbid conditions such as osteoporosis or osteoarthritis. Osteoporosis in the elderly makes them more prone to developing hip fractures due to falls.The most common location for a hip fracture is the femoral neck, which accounts for 45-53% of all hip fractures. Generally, hip replacement surgery is considered after the pain becomes so severe that it impedes normal function despite medical intervention with anti-inflammatory and/or pain medications.
The surgeon will ultimately evaluate who is an ideal patient requiring a hip replacement not only based on age, but also on the extent of pain, disability, and general health of the patient Patients requiring total hip replacement should know the risks associated with the procedure and with the types of devices that are used. Out of the 1,300 complaints currently received by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Pinnacle hip replacement, the majority of these focused on the premature loosening of the device from the hip bone, leading to failure of the device and a possible DePuy Pinnacle recall.
DePuy has budgeted almost $1 billion in the past for patients being harmed by their defective devices.
