What the Data Shows About DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS INC US
DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS INC US is associated with 143,738 adverse-event reports in the FDA Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database
, spanning reports dated from 2005 through 2026.
Of the total, 231 are coded event_type Death and 88,318 as event_type Injury, with the remainder Malfunction or Other.
These event_type counts are one code per report. They are not the same population as the Patient Outcomes chart below (FDA patient.sequence_number_outcome, where one report can list multiple outcomes, so an outcome labeled Death can differ from event_type Death). See methodology.
These counts reflect reports submitted to the FDA by manufacturers, healthcare facilities, and patients, they are raw signal, not adjudicated safety findings, and higher-volume manufacturers or older product portfolios naturally generate larger raw counts.
The reports span 20 distinct device types attributed to this manufacturer in MAUDE, which means any safety read for DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS INC US should be reviewed at the device-family level rather than company-wide. Across those devices, 4 distinct event types appear in the record, led by Injury at 88,318 reports (61.4% of event_type total). Patient-outcome rows are a separate distribution across 13 distinct outcomes (percentages use the outcome-row total, not event_type total).
Year-over-year reporting volume is tracked across 22 years of MAUDE data, with the peak single-year volume reaching 18,562 reports - trend shape can reflect shifts in device sales, FDA reporting requirements, or post-market recall activity as much as intrinsic device performance. The MAUDE system is one input among many in FDA post-market surveillance and does not draw safety conclusions from individual submissions. All figures reflect the openFDA snapshot refreshed on , and nothing on this page is medical or regulatory advice, consult a qualified clinician or the FDA for current safety communications.
