Meanings of asr hip in English

Depuy recalled the ASR hip system in 2010, after data suggested that it failed at a higher-than-expected rate.

Metal hip implant systems like Depuy's ASR hips were designed to be more durable, replacing a traditional metal-on-plastic ball-and-socket design.

Instead, some patients who received the ASR hips reported experiencing pain, swelling, joint dislocation and sometimes damage to the central nervous system, thyroid and heart.

DePuy agreed in 2013 to pay about $2.5 billion to settle approximately 8,000 personal injury suits over ASR hip implants.

Some 93,000 people have been implanted with DePuy's ASR hip system worldwide and J&J faces more than 2,000 lawsuits in state and federal court.
