Scharf v. DePuy Orthopaedics et al<\/h3>\n

Nova Scotia Supreme Court File: Hfx No. 342055<\/h3>\nWagners has filed a proposed class proceeding on behalf of individuals were implanted with a DePuy Hip Implant between July 2003 to the date of certification. The action was filed on January 11, 2011 in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia in Halifax.\n\nDePuy implants were developed in order to reconstruct human hip joints afflicted with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or fracture. They are designed to last for an average of 15 or more years.\n\nIt is alleged that for at least two years the Defendants knew, contrary to their marketing campaigns, that a disproportionately high number of DePuy implants were failing and causing harm to patients. Complaints to Health Canada and the US FDA included component loosening, misalignment, dislocation and fracture, and the creation of abnormal or excessive metal debris in the hip socket. This metal debris could spread to surrounding tissue, causing severe inflammation and damage. The failure of the DePuy implants often requires complicated, expensive and painful revision surgery to correct.\n\nWagners is presently accepting enquiries from residents of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick who have suffered adverse effects, debilitating injuries or permanent disability as a result of being fitted with a defective and faulty DePuy hip implant.\n\nIf you, or a member of your family, have suffered problems or issues with the implant, or were required to have the device explanted as a result of the DePuy hip implant and injury or other losses have resulted, you may be eligible for inclusion as a Class Member in the proposed class action lawsuits.\n\nFor information concerning the settlement of this class action and to learn if you may be eligible for compensation, please see the June 21, 2021 update found below which includes contact information for counsel in Ontario who effected the settlement. The deadline to make a claim is March 14, 2022.
