Creation of the National Hip Recall Registry; Depuy Hip Replacement Patients Urged to Register
The newly-implemented National Hip Recall Registry is urging the 93,000 Depuy ASR hip replacement patients to voluntarily register.

BARNEGET LIGHT, NJ, November 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With close to 100,000 Depuy hip implants patients at risk and now subject to a recall of their Depuy ASR hip implants it was imperative that a voluntary and independent National Hip Recall Database be created of hip implant/replacement patients, which would allow for communications and information concerning health-related issues and news detailing all hip warnings and recalls that may impact these hip implant patients.

The National Hip Recall Registry was developed in order to better communicate critical information regarding hip implant recalls and warnings both mandatory and voluntary directly from the FDA and hip manufacturers.

In contrast to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, who are initiating a privately funded, pilot program, called the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), in 15 hospitals to track recipients' basic information and data to serve Hip Manufactures and Doctors, the National Hip Recall Registry was developed to serve the patients without bias of the surgeons or Hip manufactures.

Once patients enter their anonymous information concerning their hip implant, such as manufacture. model and outcome into the form available on www.hiprecallresgistry.com they will automatically be kept abreast of important issues that may arise concerning their hip implant and what options might be available to them.

The Objectives of the National Hip Recall Registry are :

- Create a Database by Patient and Hip Manufacture.
- Provide automated means to notify Patients of warnings or recalls per the FDA and or Manufacture.
- Gather anonymous statistics of adverse effects resulting from a specific hip replacement device.
- Provide automated means to update hip patients on issues pertaining to a specific hip implant device.

In addition to registering patients who may be involved with the recent Depuy Hip Recall, the Hip Recall is also serving as an information clearing house for all Hip replacement and implant products such as those manufactured by Stryker and Zimmer.

With over close to one million hip implants performed over the last five years the Hip Recall Registry hopes to be able to reach 80% of them in the next 12 months.
