A recently recalled Johnson and Johnson metal-on-metal hip implant has been described as one of "the most flawed orthopedic devices sold in recent decades." An internal review conducted by Johnson and Johnson found that its DePuy Orthopaedics division failed to assess the possible risks associated with the device before releasing it to the public. Experts say that as a result, over 90,000 patients are currently using flawed hip replacements with disastrous failure rates.
