ABC News has an informative video about the Depuy Hip Implant Recall:
The hip system was designed and marketed for more active and younger patients. The system allows for a better range of motion. The problem though, is that the hip replacement system fails. Within 5 years, 12% of the systems have failed. The two main parts of the system rub against each other. This obviously causes severe pain, but it also may shave off the chromium and cobalt metal particles into the patient's body.
