Reasons for Recalling the ASR XL Acetabular System
In 2010, DePuy recalled two of its products that address hip replacement surgery. One of these products was the ASR XL Acetabular System, which was meant to be a safe and comfortable form of hip replacement, but often resulted in pain or discomfort for patients who received it, in addition to necessitating future surgeries to address these problems. Because of the injuries that people suffered from and the number of problems with the system, the ASR XL Acetabular System was recalled by DePuy.

Reasons for Recall
Several aspects of the ASR XL Acetabular System contributed to its total recall in 2010. For instance, there were objections related to the system’s:
- Initial design
- Construction
Most of the problems with this system are related to its construction, which involved the acetabular cup fitting directly to a person’s femoral head. However, this construction causes extensive friction for a person, and can be extremely painful and uncomfortable. Without natural lubrication or tissue, a person’s ASR XL Acetabular System could cause him or her to be in a constant state of discomfort.
