ASR Hip Implants Cause Excruciating Pain and Inflammation

Recipients of the ASR hip implant all over the world began complaining of excruciating pain within a few years of their surgeries. A pocket full of fluid and metal debris was seeping into patients surrounding tissue and destroying it beyond repair. The bone and soft tissues around the hip start to look like pieces of cheese, except pitch black pieces of cheese. But fortunately, there was no evidence of these side effects in the United States medical device registry.
