I assume you would not want this to happen to you.
My friend`s J&J hip implant constantly falls out of place.
The pain and now facing this long arduous process all over again is very depressing to him.

A Brief Overview:

In late 2010, over 90,000 hip replacement recipients worldwide were notified that their DePuy hip implant devices were not only defective, but also dangerous, with a slew of potentially serious health consequences. The recalled hip implant devices can dislocate, break the surrounding bone, and most seriously, potentially deposit shards of metal into the bloodstream. DePuy Orthopedics, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, either knew or should have known about the significant problems associated with its now recalled hip implant devices.

, too, am in WA and burn while watching TV. I'm needing a joint replacement and one or more law firms are laboring to make them more prohibitively expensive.
