DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a division of Johnson and Johnson instituted a recall of DePuy Hip Replacement in the year 2010. DePuy recalled its ASR XL Acetabular metal-on-metal hip replacement system on August 24, 2010, owing to a study which indicated that the five year failure rate of this product was approximately 13%, which implied that 1 in every 8 patients, who had undergone this surgery, might have to undergo a “revision” surgery again.
