Early in 2010, DePuy announced that they were phasing out the ASR systems due to “declining sales,” but it was not until August that they formally issued a worldwide recall of both versions of the ASR hip, admitting that there was a higher than average failure rate for both hips (12% for the replacement and 13% for the Resurfacing System). Subsequent studies indicated much higher failure rates. For instance, the British Orthopaedic Association issued a statement in March of 2011 that they had found that after six years 49% of implants required replacement, an astonishing implant failure of almost half of the devices.
