VOLUME 33 - TRIAL TRANSCRIPT - MARCH 2, 2016
P R O C E E D I N G S:
THE SECURITY OFFICER: All rise and come to order,
please.
The United States District Court in and for the Northern
District of Texas at Dallas is now in session, the Honorable
United States District Judge Ed Kinkeade presiding.
Let us pray.
God bless these United States and this Honorable Court.
(Outside the presence of the jury.)
THE COURT: He told me you wanted to address me?
MR. POWELL: Yes.
Your Honor, what I requested a little bit of the Court's
time to do is to advise the Court --
THE COURT: Outside the presence of the jury.
MR. POWELL: -- advise the Court of a scheduling
situation and move the Court for certain relief with respect
to scheduling.
THE COURT: Okay.
MR. POWELL: Here's the situation, we've been
advised that the Court has placed a deadline on completion of
the evidence for 5:00 p.m. this coming Wednesday March 9th.
We are not scheduled to have court the next two days, March
3rd and 4th.
THE COURT: Right.

MR. POWELL: Mr. Lanier has advised that he plans to
take most of the day for the cross of Ms. Turner but that he
would allow time for us to do a redirect so we will finish
Ms. Turner today.
Mr. Lanier has advised that he expects a corporate
compliance witness on events overseas to come in Monday and
that he expects that to take all day Monday for the direct and
cross.
Mr. Lanier has said he will split the times with us on
Tuesday and Wednesday next week for two additional live
witnesses who would be Mr. Ulatowski and Dr. Emerson.
So the net/net of all of that is we have one more day to
present the defense case, that would be Tuesday morning --
THE COURT: That's your interpretation of that?
MR. POWELL: Tuesday morning of next week and -- and
Wednesday morning of next week.
THE COURT: You've had all these other days. Yeah.
Okay.
MR. POWELL: What other days, Your Honor?
THE COURT: All the other days you've been putting
your case on.
MR. POWELL: Well, two more days, two additional
days, that's our interpretation.
So that situation we think is untenable, and we certainly
object to being put into that situation.

And here's -- and we have a proposal for the Court, and I
would like to propose a set of situations, and then we would
ask the Court to order this -- this schedule to go forward.
Number one, that the Court limit Mr. Lanier's cross of
Mrs. Turner to two more hours and limit our redirect to one
hour, and then we would finish her by noon today.
And then we would put on Mr. Ulatowski. He is here and
available this afternoon and probably get most if not all of
his direct done this afternoon.
Then on Monday we finish Mr. Ulatowski and the Court
would not order us to produce in the court a witness on
matters over in Europe or in Asia where everything has
happened over there.
And then what we would do then Monday afternoon and
Tuesday morning, we do want to play the depositions of Dr.
Griffin and Dr. Fehring, and we will eliminate the others. So
we would restrict our playing of the design surgeon
depositions to two.
And what we would propose is that the -- our designations
of their depositions, which have been provided to both
opposing counsel and the special master would in effect serve
as their reports. I mean, they are the verbatim transcript of
what they're going to say.
The counsel for plaintiffs have deposed 'em twice. They
have been produced all their documents. They were produced

our designations of what we wanted to talk to them about. And
they have had two opportunities to take the depositions. So
it seems to me a report at this stage of the game would be
largely just a futile exercise because they know exactly what
it is that the witnesses are going to say.
So we would -- we would do that.
And another problem with the Griffin and Fehring
depositions is, for example, Dr. Fehring we've designated
about an hour and a half, and the plaintiffs have designated
three hours. Those are long depositions. Dr. Griffin is not
nearly that bad. We have one hour, and they have about 30
minutes.
What we would propose is the Court would put some total
time limits on both sides as to how much deposition testimony
they can play from those two depositions so we could fit one
in Tuesday afternoon -- I mean Monday afternoon and one in
Tuesday morning.
And then we would call Dr. Griffin. Dr. Emerson is
available starting Tuesday afternoon. So we would call him at
1:00 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and we would split the time
with Mr. Lanier Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday to finish
Dr. Emerson.
And if the Court adheres to its 5:00 p.m. Wednesday
deadline, then that's what the schedule would look like, and
we think that would be a fair schedule for the rest of the

time that the Court has allotted to us to present our defense.
So we would move the Court to order that schedule to be
carried out between now and 5:00 o'clock next Wednesday
afternoon.
THE COURT: Okay. I heard you.
MR. LANIER: Thank you, Your Honor, for the chance
to be heard.
We have had considerable conversations with defense
counsel through the night and wee hours of the morning, and I
think it important for the Court to understand that we tried
in good faith to reach some agreements, that they're not far
off from what Mr. Powell is suggesting, but they are a little
off.
And here is what we had suggested and what we would move
the Court to do.
I agreed to cut short the cross of Ms. Turner today and
not to take the full day with the understanding that the
defendants would play their depositions today instead of start
Mr. Ulatowski, put on their case through Mr. Ulatowski, then
taking a four-day break before we get to cross-examine him on
the merits of FDA opinions that are brand new to the jury when
they haven't heard any of that kind of stuff. We didn't want
the cement to get poured this afternoon and then we try to
shape it four days later when it's hardened.
Then I suggested if they want to play the depositions of

Dr. Griffin and Dr. Fehring that they do that this afternoon.
We were willing to stay up all night in touch with them. The
special master gave us his understanding of where he thought
those depositions had playable units. We could have done that
easily --
THE COURT: Are both of y'all talking about the
order I've already entered with regard to those witnesses?
MR. LANIER: Yes, Your Honor. The problem is the
order you've entered is one that's consistent with the rules
and the briefing that's been filed by the defendants, which
helped force --
THE COURT: And that's what you're proposing still,
Mr. Powell, is within that order, correct, sir?
MR. POWELL: Yes, Your Honor, we are.
THE COURT: Okay. Okay.
MR. POWELL: Except we're agreeing to pull down
Dr. Kindsfater and Dr. Barrett. We're not going to try to
push those two.
MR. LANIER: Okay. That's new to me.
THE COURT: That's not what I understood.
You want to play all of the depositions of the other
two -- You want me to back off on my order?
MR. POWELL: Yes. In effect, yes.
Now, the order, the order -- I want a slight modification
of your order.

THE COURT: Okay.
MR. POWELL: And that is, you know, we've gotten
reports from the two Drs. Morrey, and they're just pages from
their transcript, you know, given to us in the form of a
report. That's not that helpful to us.
MR. LANIER: That's not --
MR. POWELL: Well, I mean, you summarized what their
testimony was with citations to the transcript of the -- from
this Court.
MR. LANIER: That's more accurate.
MR. POWELL: Okay. That's more accurate.
They summarized the testimony that the witness gave in
the courthouse with citations to the record in the Court.
MR. LANIER: Like you did for Haas.
MR. POWELL: We did the same thing with Dr. Haas.
No question about that. That's sort of a futile exercise, and
it's certainly a futile exercise where what we're proposing to
do is play a deposition that's already been taken because they
know exactly what it is the witness is going to say.
And so we would tender to the Court our designations from
the depositions of Drs. Fehring and Dr. Griffin as their
reports. That's what they are going to say. They have sworn
to those depositions so they have, in effect, done everything
that you would have to do.
And on top of that, counsel for the other side has

deposed them twice, at least twice, and once -- once after an
order from the Court that said I'm concerned -- or they said
I'm concerned that they're not going to bring him to trial so
I'll let you depose them again. So that happened.
And before that happened, they were given their CVs, they
were given their documents. I mean, where do you think that
they got the pointer from Dr. Fehring --
THE COURT: Mr. Powell, you're the one that started
this fight with regard to Dr. Morrey and handing me the new
law at the very last minute, very last minute with regard to
that. So I don't feel sorry for you about this. You created
that problem. I mean, I'm sorry. I don't -- I don't have
any -- you've got to make those reports, period. I'm not
going to -- I'm not changing -- after you bring that up and
they're almost finished with their -- their case or in the
middle of their case and, oh, no, got to get a report, got to
get a report. And you do, too. They have got to put it and
put the points that have to be in there. You got to cut it.
You got to stay up tonight and do it, stay up tonight and do
it. That's y'all's job. Okay? I'm not changing that.
MR. POWELL: I don't think we have an order --
THE COURT: I just ordered it. I've been ordering
it. That's it, right there.
MR. POWELL: So the part we can't play is anything
other than what they did as a design surgeon?

THE COURT: Yes. That's what I've told you. I've
been telling you that. I've told you for a week.
What else?
No, you got to bring the guy on Monday whenever the --
the fellow that's the compliance guy, unless you want me to go
back and sanction y'all. That was the -- that was the
solution that y'all offered to bring that guy over here.
That's your solution that you offered for y'all's violating my
prior order. Come on. My goodness.
I mean, Judge, back off all your orders, make everything
we did good. No. It's not. It wasn't right. You -- you
violated it, period. No. I'm not backing off that.
Y'all need to work this out with them and get the same
number of days they had, that's just the way it is. Do the
best you can by next Wednesday at five.
Unless y'all can work some agreement out and I'll try to
work with that.
But, no, I'm not going to back off my orders to make
y'all -- You know, you're the ones that created this. No.
Absolutely not.
MR. POWELL: Thank you, Your Honor for your time.
THE COURT: Okay. Okay.
I suggest, Mr. Powell, that y'all work more on what
you're -- the lines you were suggesting yesterday off the
record and try to come up with and maybe don't have to do some

of these things, and y'all were pretty close on all those.
That's my suggestion. I'm happy to say that on the record.
I'd send somebody out right now and work on that. That's
what I would do. I'm not the defense. Y'all do whatever you
want. Just next Friday by five we're going to be done.
MR. POWELL: Next Friday.
THE COURT: Next Wednesday. Excuse me. That would
have made it nice, wouldn't it?
MR. POWELL: I was going to ask --
THE COURT: There we go. Please put that in your
order.
MR. POWELL: So, Your Honor is going to deny the
motion for more time that we filed?
THE COURT: Yes.
MR. POWELL: Thank you.
THE COURT: I'm happy to give you an order on all
this. If you don't think I've given you an order, let me
know. I will -- I will do that.
And let me say, yes, I think the -- that these cross are
taking longer, but that's because of the nature of the direct.
Y'all opened up these folks know everything, they're either
experts in four or five, six, seven areas. Well, you got to
expect them to be crossed in four, five, six areas. You
created this. That's y'all's choice. Whatever.
I mean, it is what it is.

whether you used your time, and you didn't. You're getting
the same amount of time they did. It's your choice.
Okay. Here we go, bring the jury in.
THE SECURITY OFFICER: All rise.
THE COURT: Wait a minute. I've got to do something
I forgot about outside -- y'all go back in there. Go back in
there.
All right. Let me see y'all.

CROSS EXAMINATION (Cont'd)
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Ms. Turner, I'm going to try to finish you in the next
hour and a half of my questions so I can save 30 minutes back
to talk to you after Mr. Quattlebaum has another go at you.
In that regard I'll try to keep my answers short, but

I'll probably need to get your answers directed to my
questions.
Does that seem okay to you? Seem fair?
A. Do my best.
Q. All right. Thank you, ma'am.
We stopped yesterday, we were on the issue of where did
y'all give these great warnings to the doctors, and we looked
at the design rationale -- or I'm not sure, I think that's
what I put up here as we quit, Defendant's Exhibit 931.
Can we just agree that there's no warnings in here at
all?
A. In the design rationale, no.
Q. So the surgical technique, Defendant's Exhibit 56, can we
just agree that even though this runs 40-some-odd pages the
only warnings in here are the same ones that we looked at that
really didn't seem to say that much on the insertion
technique?
Can we agree?
A. I'm sorry, which document are you looking at?
You said insertion technique, and then mine is much -- is
not 30 pages.
Q. Okay. No, the surgical technique --
A. Oh, sorry.
Q. -- Defendant's 56, the only warning in this is just a
reproduction of that same sheet we went through very carefully

in the insertion technique where I read them -- maybe you'll
recognize it if I put it up here. I read them to the jury and
we talked about that it's talking about match the 28 to the
28, the 36 to the 36, don't scratch it before you put it in
there, you know, high levels of activity and falls and bone
stock and things can affect the order, fractions,
dislocations, infection. There's that one reference to tissue
reactions.
It's the same thing, isn't it?
A. I'm sorry, I'm not very good without the side-by-side
comparison.
Q. Okay. In the interest of time we'll do it this way.
Warnings and precautions. The warnings --
A. This is which document? Surgical technique?
Q. This is Exhibit 56, the new one that y'all had said gave
warnings to everybody.
The warnings that are given in this are warnings for any
hip replacement about patient weight, high levels of activity,
falls, poor bone stock, metabolic disorders, or other joint
disabilities, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Talks about cemented use, has to be used with cement,
right?
THE COURT: I'm not sure she's found the page up
here yet.

THE WITNESS: Yeah. If it -- if it says labeled for
cemented use only, then, yes, you have bone cement.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Yes. It talks about the inner diameter must correspond
to the head size. This is where it fits 28, use it with a 28,
36, use it with a 36. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And then it talks about the highly polished bore
shouldn't be scratched before you put it in there.
A. Yes.
Q. Make sure it's clean before you put it in there.
A. Yes.
Q. Make sure it seats properly.
And then under -- so those are the warnings. Those are
the precautions.
And then the adverse events is just for general hip
replacements, that it can change the position of the
components, they can get loose or break or dislocate, you can
have an infection or a tissue reaction.
That's all you get, isn't it?
A. Would you mind moving the page down?
Q. Yes, ma'am.
A. Okay. So, yes, I agree you're read that correctly. We
talked about the statement at the top as well under

Q. Yes. That says this doesn't include all the info you
need to select and use a device, see the full labeling for all
necessary information. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. In other words, the same as what we had
already looked at. Fair?

engineer in me is reluctant to say the same.

any difference, do you?

side by side, there's no difference you're ready to testify
to; is that right?
A. I'm not -- I cannot testify to the similarity or the
difference without the side by side.
Q. Now, ma'am, new subject.
I want to talk to you a little bit more -- it's still
related -- but a little bit more about the testing that was
done. And you told the jury yesterday about simulator testing
and about clinical testing. And I challenged you on whether
or not before y'all were selling these y'all had done the
necessary testing to determine if this hurts the body.

Biological testing.
Remember those questions?
A. I remember the questions.
Q. Now, in the process of that the jury saw a different part
of this exhibit earlier, but here's a chance for them to see a
new part.
It is --
A. Thank you.
Q. -- uh-huh -- Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 6.
These are minutes to a meeting for that one-piece IDE,
2001.
At this point in time y'all are doing that one-piece
test, correct?
A. In 2001 did we have a test ongoing?
Q. Yes, ma'am. You started it in 2000, remember?
A. Oh, sorry. The clinical study.
Q. Yes, ma'am.
A. Yes.
Q. In fact, that clinical study that you started in 2001,
I -- you agreed that the purpose was not for biological
effects, but you said but it still would have been noted in
that study. Remember?
A. Yes.
Q. Ma'am, there is a meeting that took place in Vail,
Colorado, on this one-piece metal-on-metal IDE. You were at

the meeting.
A. Yes.
Q. Dr. Schmalzried at that meeting: "Dr. Schmalzried had a
question on a metal-on-metal case with pain at six months, but
the patient could not be identified as to whose case it was."
Do you recall about one of the patients having pain at
six months?
A. I don't recall this specifically.
Q. Six months, the study started in 2000. Pretty quick to
have pain, wouldn't you agree?
A. I think pain after total hip surgery is not uncommon.
Q. Well, no, this was "marked pain at 6 months."
A. I think also not uncommon.
Q. Oh, really.
So the fact that Dr. Schmalzried had a question and
everybody was talking about it and it even made the minutes,
you think probably everybody was -- or a good number of people
were having pain --
A. I didn't say --
Q. -- at six months?
A. I didn't say a good number.
I think for a hip replacement patient in general to have
pain at six months would not be an uncommon thing.
Q. Well, this was still the time period where
Dr. Schmalzried was still discussing the need to obtain serum

and urine ion levels for the patients receiving these devices.
Do you remember that?
A. Yes. I see that.
Q. He stated it's still a major issue for metal-on-metal
hips and more information is needed to assess the associated
risks.
Do you see that as well?
A. Yes, I see that.
Q. And this memo where he's saying it's still a major issue,
more information is needed for assessment of any associated
risks, is happening in 2001 just, what, a few months before
y'all start selling the Pinnacle metal-on-metal?
A. The time frame is correct, yes.
Q. Dr. Schmalzried developed a protocol and a budget for
serum and urine testing. Ideal patients prospective no other
implant. You would need at least 12 patients. Dr. Haas
stated there should be a control group. Dr. Schmalzried to
discuss further with Jorge Ochoa.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, y'all went to market with these hips without having
done such a study, true?
A. Studies came after we had started implanting, yes.

Q. Y'all went to market without having done such a study,

A. True.
Q. The study was also offered to be done by Dr. Haas, and
you were on the email where Dr. Haas offered to do it and to
hide the funding.
Do you recall that?
A. No.
Q. This is an email that you're on, Plaintiff's Exhibit 37.
You are the Leanne Turner. Andrew Ekdahl has sent you this
email.
Do you remember?
A. I'm familiar with the email, yes.
Q. All right. This is the email that he forwarded to you
with a comment, "Encouraging comments from a design
consultant." And those encouraging comments from Dr. Haas to
Andy Ekdahl included his comments about that Vail session.
"One of the issues that needed to be settled --" I said
the Vail session. The Vail session came after this. It was
before the Vail session.
"One of the issues that needs to be settled within the
next calendar year is ion level research. This was brought up
at a meeting," an earlier meeting, "and seems to be a source
of some consternation among the members. I think this can be

we could do in our lab is if DePuy, Johnson & Johnson gave an
unrestricted grant to the lab, that money could be used for
this project and would not link the company to the project."
Did you remember reading that email?
A. I remember reading that.
Q. Did you take issue with that suggestion?
A. My understanding is that we --

BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Did you take issue with that suggestion?
A. No.
Q. Now, as we look through this, another thing that was left
out yesterday with the jury on the simulator studies. The
simulator studies sometimes gave bad results for the product,
didn't they?
A. I think I would need you to define "bad product" or "bad
results" in order to answer that question.
Q. All right. Let me give you a memo from 2008. I do not
have extra copies of this.
Ma'am, I'm going to come back to it in a little bit.
A. Okay.

subject of the ion testing and the testing for health
purposes, okay?
You're aware of the fact then that y'all were putting
these in people without warning people that you really hadn't
done the testing yet to determine whether or not these parts
would hurt their body?
A. I don't think I agree with the way you've stated that.
Q. Have you seen the testimony of Dr. Thomas Schmalzried in
this regard?
A. No.
Q. Dr. Schmalzried -- I was questioning him about this very
issue, volume 6, page 53, line 12. I said, "Yeah. A
practical matter wouldn't you hope a company is going to get
the information they need to assess associated risks before
they start selling the product, and putting it in the Cathy
Paolis --" in this situation "-- of the world?"
The answer was: "Well, you have to put it in people in
order to get this type of information. So it's kind of a
chicken or egg argument. At some point you've got to put it
in people and find out what it does. I'm simply saying we
need to check ions on these people."
Are you familiar with that testimony?
A. No.
Q. And you certainly see the absurdity of that, don't you?
A. No.

on people and put it in people to just see, then that's making
people a guinea pig, isn't it?

Q. Ma'am, if you're going to do this, "You just got to put
it into people to get this type of information, it's kind of a
chicken or egg argument, at some point in time you've just got
to put it in people and find out what it does," if that was
the attitude when y'all were selling this, then you at least
owed it to these people to tell them you're our test subject,
we're putting in a device where we don't know what it's going
to do, we're just going to find out by watching you?
You kind of owe that to them, don't you?
A. I think that was communicated.
Q. Do you think that -- where was that communicated to any
of the buyers of the Ultamet that we don't know what will
happen to you, you are our experiment group?
A. They're not an experiment group. And I think through the
biologic issues, for example, in the technical monograph,
where we say the effects of these are unknown is communicating
that point exactly.
Q. You think that the -- what we went through yesterday on
the technical monograph is communicating that, ma'am?
A. I think that's one example of where it was communicated,
yes.

Defendant's Exhibit 927.
Show me where in the technical monograph anybody is
remotely saying something along the lines of you are the
chicken and the egg, we're just putting it in you to see how
it works and to see if you get hurt.
A. What it says is the full biological response to metal
particles or ions is --
Q. Show me where, ma'am, so I can zoom in.
A. The bottom of the first paragraph, "This may be."
Q. "However, despite"?
A. No. If you go to the last sentence in the first
paragraph --
Q. Let's keep it in context, okay?
"Because of the low wear of metal-on-metal hip implants,
it is anticipated this may reduce the incidence of wear
particle-induced osteolysis."
That's a positive, right? That's not a warning.
"However, despite the lower volume of wear associated
with metal-on-metal, the particles are known to be very small,
possibly resulting in -- possibly resulting in a larger number
of particles --" by the way, y'all know that's not possibly,
everything you had said definitely, right?
"-- resulting in a larger number of particles compared
with metal-on-poly. This may be of some concern because the

going to happen when we put this in your body, we got some
serious concerns?

clue --

please?
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Yes, ma'am.
Do you honestly believe that that's telling people you
are an experimental group and we're going to learn whether or
not this hurts by putting it in you?
A. I don't think I can answer the question the way it's been
asked.
Q. Look at what it continues, "In order to characterize the
biological response" -- Okay. So we've got the biological
response, full biological response is currently unknown.
Y'all continued, "In order to characterize the biological
response to metal particles, one study examined the slide
appearance of tissue around retrieved metal-on-metal implants.
They found there were fewer macrophages and wear particles in

A. That's what it says, yes.
Q. "In general, the macrophage and giant cell response to
particles from metal-on-metal was described as mild."
I mean, that's the biological response language, isn't
it?
A. That's part of it.
Q. And, ma'am, have you gone back -- Since I'm sure you
worked on this technical monograph did you go back and look at
the citation and see where it says it's described as mild?
A. Yes.
Q. You know that that's a misquote of the article.
A. It is not.
Q. Well, the article continues to say, "However" --
A. It does not.
Q. The article does not?
A. I believe that you're referencing the -- the citation
you're referencing is different from the citation that is
listed here.
Q. Well, actually, ma'am, if you'll look y'all have miscited
it here, but it's the exact article that's got the exact
language.
Which article do you -- See, y'all have put "Data on file

It's 55, it's not 54, correct?
A. It is 55.
Q. So it's miscited by y'all, not by me. Correct?
A. My reference to the miscitation is that Pat Campbell
cites Willert, and that is the exact language from Willert
that does not have the "however" statement after it.
Q. Ma'am, it's the Pat Campbell -- Ma'am, the Pat Campbell
article that y'all are citing, you don't think it's got a
"However"?
A. No.
Q. Okay. I'll have my guys pull it.
At any rate, regardless, what you're saying -- And this
is not, gee, this is a problem. What you're saying in this is
it's actually better than metal-on-poly, aren't you?
A. I don't think that's what it's saying.
Q. Ma'am, look at it carefully.
The study examined the slide appearance around
metal-on-metal, fewer macrophages than metal-on-poly.
Doesn't that mean better?
A. I can't speak --
Q. Isn't that a better response?
A. I can't -- I'm not qualified to speak to that
specifically, to say fewer is better. It's -- this is

biological response. I believe it's been appropriately

Q. Okay. Ma'am, you just did that though.
You just said, oh, no, that doesn't say that the
metal-on-poly is worse -- that metal-on-metal is better.
That's your testimony just now.
So when I drill down on it, you say I'm not really
qualified.
A. This doesn't say --
Q. Time out. I got to get a question, ma'am.
A. Okay.
Q. This says to characterize this biological response one
study looked at the tissue and found there were fewer
macrophages and fewer wear particles in the tissues than
metal-on-poly. You don't think that's saying that
metal-on-metal is better than metal-on-poly?

of them that you want to call out that I should look at to
show the warning to patients?

direct-to-patient materials. So I'm not --

Important safety information.
"As with any medical treatment, individual results may
vary. The performance of hip replacements depends on age,
weight, activity level and other factors. There are potential
risks. Recovery takes time. People with conditions limiting
rehab should not have this surgery. Only an orthopedic
surgeon can tell if hip replacement is right for you."
Surely, you're not telling me and the jury that's the
warning to the patient that says we don't know what this will
do to you?

in the technical monograph y'all say at the very end that
"Disclosure of associated risks and benefits of metal-on-metal
devices to surgeons and patients is vital."
Right?
That's what you said, right?
A. That's what it says.
Q. All right. So where is this vital disclosure in this
paragraph of "important safety information"?
It's not there, is it?
A. I think we talk about general risks with the intention of
them discussing specific warnings with their surgeons.
Q. Ma'am, so is your testimony under oath, oh, yes, we are
disclosing the vital risks to the patients right here?
You really want to say that?

A. I'm just not sure I can answer that question the way that

it's been asked.
Q. And then you said the other area it where it says "Talk
to your orthopedic surgeon about your options."
A. Yes.
Q. "Your surgeon will choose the stem and bearing for you
based on durability, level of performance, wear resistance,
their experience or reference and your personal needs. No one
material is right for every patient. Only your surgeon can
determine what's right for you."
That's not warning people that we're experimenting on
you, is it?
A. I don't believe we were experimenting.
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. That's not warning people that we're going to find out by
putting it in you whether or not it works, is it?

Your Honor. Objection.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Please answer the question, ma'am. I'm running out of
time.

This does not -- the language we just looked at -- does
not warn people that we're going to find out if it works by
putting it in you.
A. It does not say those words.
Q. What kind of warning did you give the doctors in this ad
that's demo 4153 in the journal of the American Academy of
Orthopedic Surgeons?
A. I'm not familiar with this ad.
Q. No -- no warning at all, is there?
A. I don't know, I'm not familiar with it.
Q. Well, you can look at it pretty fast. "We take pride in
rigorously testing our products so patients can have
confidence for the real tests that occur every day in real
life" -- for the real tests that occur every day in real life.
And this is actually saying that y'all have tested these
things and -- this isn't telling patients -- telling doctors
that the patients are the test group, is it?
A. It does not say those words.
Q. "In fact, a recent multicenter clinical study conducted
by leading orthopedic surgeons showed eight years after
surgery 96.1 percent of patients still depend on their
Pinnacle hip replacement."
That's not giving them a warning, is it?
A. That is not a warning.

Q. Now, you were kind of a techno marketer, weren't you?
A. I think that term was used, yes.
Q. You used that term. You called yourself a techno
marketer, didn't you?
A. I think I was called that, and I replied in kind, yes.
Q. Yeah. You had a techno marketing role because you were
not just being technical; you were trying to figure out how to
market these things. Weren't you?

assisting.

weren't you?

marketing was used to describe some of the literature.

deposition -- I thought it might be fresh in your brain --
from you to Jim Lancaster.
"Finally, as my techno-marketing role over the past 12
months has been new to our group, a list of activities I
completed in order to fulfill this role might offer insight
into how this role should or shouldn't be structured
instructed in the future."
This is you expanding the customer/marketplace focus.
Remember?
A. Yes.
Q. These are the activities that consumed the majority of
your time and effort that year, remember?
A. These aren't exactly connected, but yes.
Q. Yeah. In fact, you attached a chart where you talked
about your customer/marketplace focus.
A. Yes.
Q. Remember?
A. Yes.
Q. You talked about your presentations, your sales training.
Remember?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. That's all I'm driving at, ma'am, is you were not
just technical into this but also in the marketing end,

materials, yes.
Q. Right. You're listed as one of the science people, but
one of the figures that we showed the people was how many more
people worked in sales and marketing than worked in science
and research. You were in science and research, but you were
still doing your share of marketing, weren't you?
A. I'm not sure I'd characterize it that way.
Q. All right. Techno marketing. Is that better?
A. Yes. I was still an engineer.
Q. One last thing I wanted to make sure we covered on
testing is the fact that y'all did have testing data that
showed --

Now, this is -- let's set this up so the jury understands
it well.
This is a study. Y'all are comparing the wear of ASR,
that's the recalled device -- right?
A. Yes.
Q. You're comparing the wear of ASR to the wear of Pinnacle
metal-on-metal, aren't you?
A. I'm not familiar with this test.
Q. All right. Can you look at page 3 and see that this is
an ASR study --
A. Yes.
Q. -- it's done on a simulator --
A. Yes.
Q. -- one of those machines we saw the video on, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And on different stations there are ASRs -- and each
station is one of those little places where you've got the
head and the -- the liner and the cup and the ball, and it's
one of the rotating, moving stations, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And then you collect and you measure the wear at each of
those stations, don't you?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. So ASR, the recalled device, is being
measured against Pinnacle.

Q. We've got six stations dedicated to ASR and three
dedicated to Pinnacle. Correct?
A. I see that.
Q. And then we see how much wear they have charted on the
chart to the left. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, it's kind of hard to see this because of the
darkness that's involved in a copy, but there's one of these
that shoots up way higher than every other one.
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. This highest wear line is station number 5-A, Pinnacle,
isn't it?
A. It appears to be.
Q. Pinnacle wears worse in this test than the ASR product
y'all have to recall because of how much it was wearing,
doesn't it?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Object, Your Honor. It assumes
facts not in evidence.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: I think you can't look at one station
and draw that conclusion --

Q. Okay. So this station doesn't show higher wear than the
ASR station?
A. This one Pinnacle station shows higher wear than that one
ASR station, yes.
Q. Yes, ma'am. That was my question.
This Pinnacle station shows higher wear than all of the
ASR stations in this test, doesn't it?
A. On this graph, yes.
Q. So that we're clear, we can see the station 6, this is
ASR, the one next to it is ASR, ASR, that's ASR.
Ah, this is Pinnacle right here, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. And it's wearing greater than this ASR, than this ASR,
and this ASR.
Now, here's an interesting one. Look at this. The
bottom line is Pinnacle, isn't it?
A. It appears to be.
Q. And it's hard to see, but see if -- if I'm not outlining
the Pinnacle line right.
Even that Pinnacle jumps up over this bottom ASR line,
doesn't it?
A. In that time frame, yes.

Q. And in that time frame, that's rather late. That's at 4
million cycles. All of a sudden the Pinnacle starts wearing
worse towards the end.
Do you see that?
A. I see that here.
Q. And y'all quit the test on the Pinnacle there at 4,000 --
or at 5,000 cycles, didn't you?
A. It's hard to say. I don't know if this is a final report
or what this -- without having the full report I can't comment
really any further to that point.
Q. In fact, there's an email about it. I'm going to keep
this up here. I've got an extra copy of the same exhibit,
it's page 2, where the email comes from Catherine Hardaker and
says, "Looking at the results we seem to have strange behavior
on that station 6 Ultamet between 4 and 5 million cycles. Can
you have another look at the data and check to see if this is
a typo."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. And that is, in fact, the station where the wear jumps up
for the Pinnacle between 4 and 5 million cycles.
Do you see that?
Station 6. Here's 6. Right?
Do you see it, ma'am?
A. Hard to tell from the copy. I think that's correct.

Q. And look at the response from Martin Hintner, "Cath, I
have double-checked the values and it is no typo. Testing
metal-on-metal hip component it's not unusual we observe again
an increased wear during testing. I assume if testing
continued the wear will decrease again."
Cathy replies or sends it to Mary Stewart and says,
"Mary, they have checked and the results seem okay. This is a
phenomena they have noted before on metal-on-metal. It's
interesting that they get high and low Ultamet like we do,
especially bearing in mind it's a different machine and
different method of loading. It would suggest product
variability."
Do you see that?
A. I see that it says that, yes.
Q. In other words, y'all knew internally that some of your
product based upon your simulators was wearing worse than
others. Correct?
A. That's -- I -- that's not the way that I would say that,
no.
Q. Well, ma'am, you might not say it that way, but it's the
truth. That's what it says, that y'all have some high and
low, suggesting product variability. It's been noted before,
it's been double-checked, it's no typo, it's not unusual.
That's what your simulator tests were showing, right?
A. On a simulator test you would expect to see variation.

Q. Yes, ma'am.
A. Yes.
Q. That you had high and low wear, that you had product
variability, this was not a typo, this was not unusual.
That's what it said, isn't it?
A. That's what that says, yes.
Q. And, ma'am, you've just suggested to the jury, well,
that's not unusual for you to have -- or not unexpected to
have product variability.
Ma'am, that's the whole point of this email chain is they
didn't know, it was unexpected, they did have to double-check,
they were stunned to find out that this is a reaction that had
been happening on both sides of the water, in England and in
America.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Your Honor, I object to the
compoundness of the question. It's compound.

A. Yes. I --
Q. It doesn't say what you just volunteered to the jury, we
would expect that. That doesn't --
A. So --
Q. Time-out. It doesn't say that we would expect that, does
it?
A. May I clarify my point to the jury?
Q. Yes, ma'am. On his time.
It doesn't say we expect that in this first email from
Catherine Hardaker, does it?
A. I can't answer the question.
Q. Yes, ma'am, you can. It doesn't say we expect that. It
seems surprised and wants to know if it's a typo. Fair?
A. Fair.
Q. All right. And then the reply is not, of course, it's
always that way. It's I've double-checked it, it's no typo,
but this is not unusual, we've seen it before.
That's what we see, right?

and says, look, they get it like we do on Ultamet, different
machine, different method of loading. This has got to suggest
there's product variability, not all of the products are
working the same.
A. That's not what it says.
Q. It doesn't say it would suggest product variability?
A. Product variability does not mean --
Q. Does it say --
A. -- not working.
Q. Time-out, ma'am. Does it say product variability?
A. Yes.
Q. Which means there's a variance in the products?

And then this is called a phenomena, not an expected
event, isn't it?
A. That's what they say.
Q. But it's a phenomena that's been noted before. Y'all had
warning about it, didn't you?

correctly.
Q. Well, ma'am, if it's happened before, you know it can
happen. Correct?

the engineering claims y'all were making that these Pinnacles,
Ultamet were going to work well because of full fluid film
lubrication.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, this is a new subject with the jury, and so we need
to take a moment and make sure that we've explained all of the
different terms that we're going to use. Okay?
A. Okay.
Q. The easiest way to do that might be with --

already been using. It's a design rationale.

Q. And we can use this to explain these concepts to the
jury. The jury has seen one of these before, one page before,
but we're going to focus a little differently now.

Y'all were claiming to the doctors in the medical
community that you had this TrueGlide technology. Right?
A. That's what it says.
Q. And we can read about that.
This is what y'all told the doctors: "TrueGlide
technology, optimized diametrical clearance," that's the
critical clearance that y'all changed the Friday before your
submission. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Improved fluid film lubrication, smooth range of natural
motion.
Now, this lubrication is explained in the next couple of
pictures.
When we're talking about lubrication, what we're talking
about is on a microscopic level, are the ball and the liner
touching or is there some lubrication between them. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. So, for example, you drive a car?
A. Yes.
Q. I suspect you put oil in your car or you have someone do
it for you. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Because in a car you've got cylinders with pistons in
them. So you've got a cylinder and inside that cylinder,
which is made out of a metal, is a piston that moves up and

down. Correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And in the process of moving, the metal rubbing against
the metal will cause the engine to break, to seize, if you
don't have some type of oil in there. Correct? Or lubricant.
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. Because when the metal rubs against the metal you have a
problem if there's not lubrication. Correct?
A. In this application I believe that's true.
Q. And it's no different in the body. If you put a metal
ball, no matter how well you smooth, polish it, everything
else, and you put it against a metal or poly, for that matter,
liner, if they're touching when you move it, it's going to
create wear debris, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, if the bearing surfaces are fully separated and the
load is fully supported by lubricating fluid, then you don't
have the wear issues that you would have if this lubrication
were not there. Correct?
A. Correct.
Q. In fact, what y'all do in the brochure to the doctors is
you have told them that you've improved the lubrication, which
promotes healthy joints.
And so while we see the improved wear resistance with

this illustration in blue, we then get to the other types of
lubrication that are not so good. Correct?
A. It describes the other types, yes.
Q. All right. This says that synovial fluid, and that means
you're not pumping oil in the hip but it's the fluid within
that hip that our body produces, right?
A. Yes.
Q. "-- fully separates and lubricates the load-bearing
surfaces in a healthy joint. TrueGlide technology helps
establish fluid film lubrication between bearing surfaces to
minimize wear."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. And that's what the picture was. That's called fluid
film lubrication, right?
A. I believe this picture would be full fluid film
lubrication.
Q. All right. Let's -- full fluid film lubrication.
Now, full fluid film lubrication is the -- where the
loads are fully separated and the load is fully supported by
the lubricating fluid. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. So this is what you claim, fully separated, load fully
supported.
A. That's the definition of fluid film lubrication.

resistance, right?
A. How are you using "defined"?
It's part of this full description, yes.
Q. All right. Now, then the next page we've got two other
kinds of lubrication.
These are smaller pictures.
Conventional boundary lubrication. "Conventional" means
what you normally have, right?
A. I think it's just how it's defined here. I don't know I
can say normally.
Q. Conventional and boundary lubrication. And that's where
you've got some separation, but you've also got small
microscopic places where there's going to be some rubbing,
correct?
A. Yes.
Q. This is where you have substantial direct interaction
between surfaces.

You've got some lubrication with slippery molecules
adhering to the surfaces, but you still have substantial
direct interaction, right?
A. Yes. That's what it says.
Q. Substantial direct interaction.
And then there is a third engineering term that's used in
lubrication theory called "conventional mixed lubrication."
Right?
A. Yes.
Q. And this is where the load is partially supported by the
fluid, but there's some direct interaction between the
surfaces, requiring boundary lubrication. Right?
A. Yes, that's what it says.
Q. So mixed is kind of where you got a little of both, it's
mixed, right?
A. Yes.
Q. So let's do mixed -- We'll do both. Mixed lubrication.
And with mixed lubrication what we've got is partially
supported by some interaction. So you've got both support,
but instead of being fully supported, it's partially
supported. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. With some direct interaction.
A. Yes.
Q. All right. Ma'am, what y'all did is y'all falsely told

lubrication?
A. No.
Q. When, in fact, you had not?
A. That's not correct.
Q. You don't think y'all made that claim?
A. No.
Q. Let me give you Defendant's -- Plaintiff's Exhibit 116.
Because such a claim would be false, wouldn't it?
Ma'am, such a claim would be false, wouldn't it?
A. Could you repeat the claim so I'm clear?
Q. That y'all had found full fluid film lubrication where
the parts are fully separated, the load is fully supported by
a lubricating fluid. You've made this so perfectly well that
it was truly a well oiled machine. That would be a false
claim, wouldn't it?
A. I think no. Depending on the full extent and the context
of that, I think that's not false.
Q. Ma'am, look at the picture that y'all give in the
brochure here, Plaintiff's Exhibit 116. You say you haven't
made the claim.
"TrueGlide technology: The Pinnacle hip is unique" --
That means one of a kind, doesn't it? Unique means one of a
kind, right?

Unique means one of a kind, doesn't it?
A. I'm not sure that I can speak to that's how it's used
here, I'm sorry.
Unusual. I can -- one of a kind I'm just not sure about.
Q. Unique means one of a kind. Unusual means unusual,
right?
See, this provides, according to y'all, an exclusive
advancement. Exclusive means unique or one of a kind, right?
Called TrueGlide. It helps your body create a thin layer
of natural lubrication between the surfaces of the ball and
socket, results in a more fluid range of natural motion, more
closely matches the feeling and movement of a natural hip.
The exclusive TrueGlide technology keeps the bearing surfaces
fully separated and weight fully supported by the lubricating
fluid.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Fully separated, fully supported, is exactly what fluid
film lubrication means. Fully separated, fully supported.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Your testimony -- And we'll bring it and put it on the
screen if we need to look at it. I said y'all made that claim
to full fluid film lubrication, didn't you? You said, no, we

Q. Ma'am, just answer the question.
You made the claim -- the company claimed full fluid film
lubrication, didn't they?
A. In this instance -- on -- that's what it says on this
paper, yes.
Q. And when I told you now your company was claiming it had
made full fluid film lubrication you said, no, they didn't
make that claim.
A. I think I was --
Q. Were you unaware of this?
A. I think I was considering a different context.
Q. Ma'am, your company claimed they had achieved full fluid
film lubrication when such is false. Isn't it?
A. I think that it's true during periods of a gait cycle.
So the question is --

When I show you the claim you're saying, oh, yeah, but
we've done it.
A. I'm asked for permission to clarify my statement.
Q. Ma'am, the truth of the matter is y'all make the claim --
You make it over and over.
Here's demonstrative 3747 we looked at earlier, the Coach
K ad. This is in the journal for the doctors.
"TrueGlide technology. Bearing surfaces are fully
separated, the load fully supported by the lubricating fluid,"
again claiming full fluid film lubrication, correct?
A. That's what it says.
Q. Ma'am, you know that y'all's own doctors know that that's
not true and have tested it, don't you?
A. I'm sorry. I couldn't hear the question.
Q. Yes, ma'am.
You know that people that y'all have on retention, that
you pay a lot of money to, have tested this for you. Dr. John
Fisher, for example, over in Leeds, you know him, don't you?
A. I do.
Q. I've handed you Plaintiff's Exhibit 3466. This is a

metal-on-metal, haven't you?
A. Yes.
Q. You've put your own people, your own engineers and
students through him as an academic source, haven't you?
A. Yes. Some of our employees have gone there to pursue
academics, yes.
Q. This is his area of study, isn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. Look what he wrote up in the peer-reviewed literature
about metal-on-metal, your metal-on-metal, and whether it's
full fluid film, boundary or mixed, where it's got some fluid
film and some interaction.
Page 255.
"Analysis of the lubrication regime of metal-on-metal
bearings in the hip, has shown they are" -- Can you read that
word?
A. "Not."
Q. -- "has shown they are not lubricated by a fluid film and
that direct contact of the solid metal surfaces occurs. This
can result in high friction and wear."
It continues on the next page.

"Essentially metal-on-metal bearings operate in a mixed
lubrication regime in which the level of friction and wear
depends on local tribological conditions." Tribological means
rubbing, friction?
A. Yes.
Q. Your own scientist says no (indicating), yes (indicating)
correct?
A. I'm not familiar with this paper. So I'm afraid I can't
draw that conclusion without further study.
Q. Ma'am, that's exactly what it says right here.
A. I don't know what else this paper says.
Q. Ma'am, that's fine, and you'll have the direct to read
about it and redirect to come back and show all the other
things you want, but certainly the part we're reading
indicates in very clear English that it is not lubricated by
fluid film. Direct contact occurs as opposed to it being
fully separated with the load fully supported and that this
results in high friction and wear. It is a mixed regime. You
got some support, and you got some interaction. That's the
truth, isn't it?
A. You've read that correctly.
Q. Even Frank Chan, when faced with this, in his testimony,
whether he would have said that TrueGlide truly is doing this,
his deposition, page 201, line 2 --

Q. This is talking about describing the -- the surfaces as
fully separated and the load fully supported by the
lubricating fluid, unquote.
"Dr. Chan, if someone had asked you if -- could you as a
scientist support this, could you have done, sir -- what would
you have done?"
His answer:
"A. I would not have used those words."
Ma'am, those -- there's no way that the claims y'all were
making to the doctors in the medical community about the load
being fully separated -- that's just not true, is it?
A. I think it's true at a time point.
Q. Well, in fact, ma'am, this was a marketing gimmick. This
was an effort to sell things that people might not otherwise
buy, wasn't it?
A. I don't know that to be true.
Q. Do you -- Are you familiar with all of the work with
Dr. Schmalzried trying to get him on the bandwagon for this
TrueGlide sales pitch?
A. I'm not.
Q. Paul Berman from marketing, not an engineer -- right?
A. Correct.

says, "The overwhelming insight from market research was that
patients want pain free natural motion. Last night, we called
it function, but in patients' minds it's a hip that gives
freedom of motion and feels natural. We must communicate that
benefit in our patient media.
"What makes this exercise so exciting is the greatest
differentiator as a company is our bearings --" that's the

Q. "After a long process with internal market research and
an ad agency, we're at a point where there is strong alignment
around this brand," this TrueGlide.
Do you see that, ma'am?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, the company -- and we'll maybe get a chance to talk
to another witness about this. So I won't go into a ton of
detail with you. But the company has certain requirements of
what they can run -- Well, I'll wait. I'll save it for
another witness. Let me keep moving on with you.
But I will forecast it.
The FDA told y'all to cut it out when y'all tried to
claim full fluid film lubrication for a different Pinnacle
product, didn't they?
A. I -- I don't know.
Q. Okay. But y'all never cut it out for the metal-on-metal,
did you?
A. I'm afraid I also don't know the answer to that.
Q. Here's the Pat Campbell article that you said didn't have
a "however." This is the one you cite as the footnote even
though you got the citation wrong. This is Defendant's
Exhibit 5174. This is the technical monograph. Let's get

back to the flow of things on it, and then we'll move to the
next subject.
Do you have the technical monograph in front of you?
Ma'am?
A. I'm looking.
Q. Tell me when you find it.
A. I have it.
Q. All right. If you look at the technical monograph, go
back to that warnings area where you and I were having the
discussion. Specifically I challenged you on whether or not
y'all were being fair here where you say "The biological
response, one study examined around retrieved metal-on-metal,
they found fewer macrophages, fewer wear particles, compared
to metal-on-poly. The macrophage and giant cell response from
metal-on-metal was described as mild." And I said but there's
a however. Do you remember?
A. Yes.
Q. Here's the article that y'all reference by Pat Campbell.
The jury got to meet her, by the way.
"Metal-on-metal hip replacements: Wear Performance and
Cell Response to the Wear Particles."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, as a practical matter, if we flip to the reference
here -- we're going to find it on page 206.

Thus the presence of potentially large numbers of
nanometer-sized metal particles -- "Despite the presence" --
excuse me -- "of potentially large numbers, the macrophage and
giant cell response to them could be described as mild."
That's what y'all quote. That's what you reference,
isn't it?
A. No.
Q. "The macrophage and giant cell response to particles from
metal-on-metal articulations was described as mild."
"The macrophage and giant cell response could be
described as mild."
That's what y'all quote from this exhibit.
I mean, here's the footnote. 55, as you pointed out. We
circled it when you pointed it out. That's the very article
we're looking at, isn't it?
A. It is -- it is the article.
Q. Okay. So you show me where in the article this language
is anywhere except where I've highlighted.
A. If you look on page 205.
Q. All right.
A. Of the article?
Q. Yes, ma'am.
A. I think I have found the correct place.
Q. You're going to want right here, if this helps you.

Q. That's all you got, isn't it?
But, ma'am, that's not what was referenced.
Read it, "The histological reaction to metal wear
particles was described as mild."
"The macrophage and giant cell response" is what you
quoted here. Macrophage and giant cell response.
Do you see the difference?
And look at the one I've shown you, macrophage and giant
cell response could be described as mild.
A. I think you --
Q. Excuse me, ma'am. Do you see the difference?
A. I see what you've pointed out.
Q. Let's be -- let write it down so that we've got it real
clear.
Page 206 says macrophage and giant cell response is mild.
And then it says, "however," and it talks about some bad
stuff.

giant cell response to particles from metal-on-metal was
described as `mild.´"
Y'all do not say here the histological reaction to metal
wear particles was mild, do you?

Q. So there is a precise answer to these questions.
A. Not always, I'm afraid.
Q. Ma'am, this one is a no-brainer.
Does it say macrophage and giant cell response in the
warning, just as it does on page 206 with the "however"?
A. It uses those words, yes.
Q. Does it say, "histological reaction to metal wear
particles"? Does it use those words?
A. Not right here it does not.
Q. Thank you.

Oh, I didn't show the "however" language.
MR. LANIER: Thank you, Jayne.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. So here's what was left out of the "however" language.
Y'all told everybody it was mild and left out, "However,
immunohistochemical studies have indicated that the cobalt
chromium particles can induce the release of potential
osteolytic cytokines and potentially adverse effects including
hypersensitivity, chromosome damage that's been reported in

the literature." So we need to continue doing more studies.
That's what's left out, isn't it?
A. I still believe the citation is not exactly correct.
Q. That's what's left out of the article. Even if you want
to claim you were just quoting from page 205, you still didn't
put anywhere in here, much less on this paragraph that says
the reaction is mild, in fact, it's better, fewer macrophages
and wear particles than metal-on-poly.
You didn't put anything on there about the studies have
indicated the osteolytic cytokines, did you?
I mean, did you, ma'am?
A. I'm not sure if those were the exact words used in the
technical monograph.
Q. You understand that's what ate up the bone of several of
the plaintiffs in this case, osteolytic cytokines, osteolysis,
eating up the bone.
You understand that?
A. I understand that.
Q. "-- potentially adverse effects including
hypersensitivity."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. And y'all don't say that in your warnings. In fact, what
y'all said is hypersensitivity is not a problem. Right?
A. Those aren't our words.

MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Didn't tell the jury about the problems y'all were having
with Ultima, did you?
A. No.
Q. You remember in Australia with the Ultima problems and
the way it was running over into ASR and Pinnacle, that the
Ultima problems were being used to attack ASR and Pinnacle?
Do you remember that?
A. No.
Q. Here is an email. It is Exhibit 1025. It's an email
chain including Randy Kilburn and Andrew Ekdahl. It's
entitled "Ultima results used to attack ASR and Pinnacle."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. It's got salespeople on it, among others, Polly Cary,
high importance.
"The attached letter is being used to discredit
Pinnacle/Ultamet and ASR in Australia. I've reported its use
to our regulatory team and steps will be taken if we can
identify the company using it."
"The information is being used to discredit our
metallurgy in ASR --" of course, this is before y'all had to
pull ASR, right?

2007?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. "Ultima was designed `after extensive hip
simulator testing that investigated clearance, roughness,
sphericity and metal composition and still failed."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, this is the Ultima that you tried to tell the jury
was one of the reasons y'all knew Pinnacle was going to work
well, didn't need to test Pinnacle because you had tested
Ultima. Remember?
A. I remember.
Q. Look at the surgeon letter.
DePuy -- this is about Ultima, femoral stem and metal on
metal.
"Our records indicate that you or one of your colleagues
has been a past user of the Ultima. I want to draw your
attention to the possible adverse performance.
"Revision experience. DePuy is currently aware of a
cohort of 637 hips at one center where 60 revisions, 9.4
percent, at 2 to 9 years follow-up have been required for the
Ultima stem and metal-on-metal articulation."
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Excuse me, Your Honor, Mr. Lanier
left out words from the question, if it's a question.
THE COURT: You can clear that back up on redirect.

"-- been required for the Ultima TPS femoral stem and
Ultima metal-on-metal articulation. 21 of these are
considered to be 'normal' revisions (e.g. for infection,
trauma, et cetera). However, 39 revisions have been
associated with extensive periprosthetic --" that means around
the hip implant, right?
A. Yes.
Q. "-- soft tissue necrosis --" that's dead tissue, right?
A. Yes.
Q. "-- sometimes severe. This represents a failure rate of
3.3 percent for the revisions exhibiting no reaction and 6.1
percent for the revisions with a necrotic reaction."
Some have been associated with late dislocation or
periprosthetic fracture.
Now, y'all investigated -- did you know about that, by
the way?
Were you called in to that investigation team?
A. No.
Q. When you were talking to the jury about the Ultima study,
you didn't tell them about not that 269 hips that y'all
followed for a couple of years but the 637 hips at this

center. Left that out, didn't you?
A. We did not specifically discuss it.
Q. And the truth of the matter is upon investigation the
best light that your company could put on this is that maybe
the problems coming from the metal that's coming off of the
stem combined with the metal that's coming from the
metal-on-metal, and that just the two of them put together
seemed to be putting out that much metal, right?
A. There was an issue with the combination of those two
products together, yes.
Q. Because the interesting thing is that at the same center,
the same stem, with the same head, with the same shell, but
using a poly liner instead of a metal liner, no problems.
Did you know about that?
It's in the investigation, ma'am.
Page 401 in the lower right-hand corner starts, "The
investigation."
And this is your company's stuff. This is your company's
investigation. This isn't independent.
"Extensive investigation has failed to establish
categorically why the tapered polished stem sometimes corrode.
Cobalt chromium molybdenum is generally considered to be
corrosion resistant in a person."

"Following the investigations and retrievals analysis

is caused by patients reacting to too much higher levels of
metallic ions than normal in a metal-on-metal articulation,

the bearing."
Do you see that, ma'am?
A. I see that.
Q. The best thing y'all could put on it was one of don't
throw out the bearing, it must be the stem and the bearing.
Even though you had no trouble with the metal-on-poly.
And that's the Ultima story y'all left out for the jury,
isn't it?
A. I think there's probably more that's been left out of
that story as well.
Q. Do you know any more right now?

got about eight more minutes and then I want to save my last
30 minutes.
So let's talk for a moment about -- eight minutes. See
if I can do this in eight minutes.
Q. Okay. In eight minutes let's talk about the business of
metal-on-metal. All right?
Are you with me?
A. I'm not sure I understand what that means, but I'll see
if I can follow along.
Q. All right. This is business.
You testified with Mr. Quattlebaum that metal-on-metal
was just a small percentage of the company's business,
remember?
A. I don't think I used "small percentage".
Q. No, you didn't.
A. Okay.

first trying to start selling it.
But metal-on-metal became the backbone of the profits for
DePuy, didn't it?
A. I'm not sure about that.
Q. Metal-on-metal started slow, and that's what you told
this jury, it was a low percentage, but it became a major
seller, didn't it?
A. I think I testified that it was up to 35 percent of our
Pinnacle liner units at its peak. That's approximate.
Q. And even higher in its profit because it had a higher
profit margin, didn't it?
A. Yes.
Q. In fact, ma'am, it was the key market driving product
line along with ASR, wasn't it?
The metal-on-metal business is not simply Pinnacle, but
it included ASR for a while, didn't it?
A. We were selling those products simultaneously, yes.
Q. And so that we understand the concept of this,
Plaintiff's Exhibit 1567, the jury is going to see that
metal-on-metal for your company was critical. Wasn't it?
A. If that's the word used here.
Q. Yes, ma'am.
You're copied on this email, 2007, talking about how to
spend money for hips. "Here is more detail on how 750,000
would be spent."

market. Correct?
Y'all were number one.

owned that part of the market, and y'all were trying to figure
out how to continue your ownership by using
ceramic-on-ceramic, right?
A. I see that this was regarding ceramic-on-ceramic, yes.
Q. Because y'all knew that the days for metal-on-metal were
numbered?

could maintain that source of income, right?

Delivering U.S. hip growth with market share. Do you see
that?

the marketplace in metal-on-metal year end, year out, quarter

Q. Six minutes, four documents. Are you ready?
A. I'm ready.
Q. All right. The first thing I want to do is I want the
jury to be aware of the fact that I'm still picking up on that
theme we were talking about of the company knowing
metal-on-metal was a risky business but the company was in it
anyway.
Do you follow?
A. I hear what you're saying.
Q. All right. So I'm handing you a document that's labeled
Plaintiff's Exhibit 638. This is an actual proposal where

DePuy paid a company called Haztech Consultants. DePuy paid
them to do an assessment of how much DePuy was risking
financially because of its metal-on-metal joint wear problems.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Objection, hearsay, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Did you know anything about this document?
A. No.
Q. The document goes back to December of 2005. And in 2005,
having been paid by DePuy, DePuy was given this proposal,
which I don't think DePuy ever followed through to get the
final work product, just simply a proposal. But look at what
DePuy is warned about in this proposal, or at least put on
notice of.
"One of the major concerns and problems associated with
joint replacement is the effect of wear produced at the joint
surfaces. The problems and adverse effects associated with
the most common joint replacement materials are understood and
well reported. These adverse effects include a foreign body
reaction to poly debris called osteolysis, which results in
localized bone damage.
"There's been a move towards harder wearing materials and
metal-metal bearing surface joints are being used in ever
larger numbers. There are concerns this results in elevated
metal ions in a variety of tissues in patients where

metal-metal joints have been used.
"The risks associated with the metal-on-metal joint are
as yet undetermined --" this is 2005, end of 2005 "-- although
the consequences for the patient may or may not be significant
in the long term and the risk to DePuy may be major in terms
of product liability or business impact."
Of course, this is a product liability case we're about
here today, right?
A. Yes.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Your Honor, object to 403 as well.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. "The metal-metal ion risk is a potentially long-term
issue with perhaps very low risk but potentially major
consequences for DePuy and/or the patient."
And so DePuy paid money to this company to discuss that
risk and try to figure out if it was worth it. Do you recall
that?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Objection, lack of evidence in the
record, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Overruled.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Do you recall anything about this?
A. I'm not familiar with this at all.
Q. The scope, "The science and actual medical implications

are as yet unknown. The criteria to be used to judge
tolerability of risk are yet to be defined."
Now, that's certainly not what we're reading in any of
the warnings y'all are giving to patients or doctors, is it?
A. I disagree.
Q. Part of the scope of work Haztech will undertake is to
assist DePuy define targets and the type of information that
will be needed to make reasoned judgments about risk."
Now, isn't it true that as of 2005 -- in fact before --
your company is very concerned about the risk of
metal-on-metal for your company's business reasons?
A. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Q. Well, ma'am, that's one of the documents I'm referring
to.
Your company is worried about the financial harm to the
company of continuing to sell all these metal-on-metal hips.
Right?
A. You've read out of this correctly. I've not read this to
understand its full scope or context.
Q. Well, I'll show you Plaintiff's Exhibit 148.
This is another email chain. Now we're fast-forwarding
two and a half years, actually one and a half. We're in July
of 2007. This has got Graham Isaac, same fellow as the last

a half later.
"We're getting deeper into metal-on-metal - high risk if
any complications are shown."
Company is analyzing the business model, aren't they?
A. I have not seen. I don't know what they're analyzing.

to do, the company just stays full speed ahead with the
marketing program, pumping money into direct-to-consumer
marketing, putting ads in all of the doctor journals.
The company is full steam ahead, aren't they?
A. I don't think that's correct.
Q. Ma'am, the company was worried because, if you'll look at
slide 9, they were losing ground on ASR at this point in time,
so they're having to do research on aSphere, research on
ceramic.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. And then if we continue to chart through, what we're
going to see is the company ultimately develops the aSphere
hip and decides to sell it, right?
A. I don't know.
Q. Remember we showed you the document yesterday where you
were the head of that -- some of that, on aSphere?
A. I re-reviewed that and I believe that was a typo, because
I did not have responsibility for aSphere.
Q. Well, look at this anyway.
This is Plaintiff's Exhibit 86. And this is where the
question about aSphere is being debated by some people over in
England.
The question is whether or not aSphere should be sold in
England.

And the comment from Raphael Pascaud to Paul Kurring is
"What's our position? Are they --" that's U.S "-- not
compounding their metal-on-metal risk by selling aSphere?"
Do you see the comment back from Paul Kurring?
Do you know Paul?
A. I do.
Q. Paul Kurring sends this email back, including to Graham
Isaac of End Game memo fame, and says, "Raph, others, please
jump in if the following is inaccurate." ASphere head cost is
double that of what they were using.
They would -- in England they could only get a 10 to 15
percent premium if they had a very good marketing story, which
is difficult to prove in people.
So the gross profit would be low about using aSphere in
England because of the high standard cost.
And then he says, "Yes, U.S. are going further into
metal-on-metal with this and effectively acknowledge
metal-on-metal has an issue," that's why they offer this as a
solution.
Did you know about that at the time?
A. I have never seen this.
Q. One last subject, ma'am.
You have talked about the royalties that the doctors
earned and deserved. You didn't tell the jury about some of
the doctors that y'all did not give royalties to, did you?

That you've given royalties to but then decided it wasn't
right to give 'em, right? There were people like that?
A. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Q. Well, look, for example, at Exhibit 154.
This is an email, Tony Cutshall, about Dr. Moreland and
his contribution to solution and whether or not he should be
getting a royalty.
It says, "After review it doesn't appear the comments
made by Dr. Moreland during the meeting were used or
implemented. Only one comment during another meeting was
used. So my recommendation at this point would be no to
royalties."
And "at this point" means years later when the U.S.
government is looking over the shoulder with that DPA,
deferred prosecution agreement. Right?
A. Correct.
Q. Now, look at what Dr. Moreland's contribution was that
wasn't followed. It's attached. Here's the email back in
2002 that evidenced it.
"Trip notes from Dr. Moreland visit."
2002. Andrew Ekdahl involved, Leanne Turner involved.
"Dr. Moreland, I want to thank you for your time and
gracious hospitality during my visit Wednesday. It was great
to have the opportunity to review these systems face-to-face.
Your insightful feedback on these and our other product lines,

extremely beneficial. We appreciate your efforts. To recap
the discussions with Steve and yourself" --
Do you follow me?
A. I follow you.
Q. Now, I want to look at the discussions under the subject
"Other developments."
"Metal-on-metal: Do not use because of increased metal
ion potential."
This is 2002. "(Reduced wear in cross-linked poly is
acceptable)." 2002.
"You noted that as a member of the AAOS review board a
paper was approved that will document evidence to this
effect."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. Now, it's kind of ambiguous here as to whether that was
an instruction, advice from him, "do not use metal-on-metal,"
or whether that's him saying he does not use it.
Can't really tell from the way it reads, right?
A. Cannot tell.
Q. But regardless, the company is certainly put on notice by
a member of the AAOS review board reduced wear in cross-linked
poly is acceptable and metal ion potential is a reason not to
be using it at least for that surgeon, if not everybody,

can't tell which.

REDIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Leanne, I'd like to do this in 45 minutes if I can so I
can save 10 or 15.
I want to talk to you about a subject he talked about
yesterday which was the subject of clearance in connection
with the 510(k).

described as -- as an aspect or feature that's tightly
controlled.
A. Right.
Q. That's imperative?
A. Yes.
Q. That's important?
A. Yes.
Q. So with regard to the 36-millimeter head and the
28-millimeter head and interior liner -- interior of the
liner, what's the difference between the wear of the
previously approved 28-millimeter and the 36 with the
diametrical clearance widened like it was described?
MR. LANIER: Judge, I'm going to object to an answer
to this question unless he's got the foundation first.
Inadequate foundation. Hasn't given us the test results or
what tests he's used for this.
This is just a conclusion that would take an hour to
unwind in cross.
THE COURT: I don't know about that. But just
rephrase.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Thank you.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Ma'am, have you conducted testing on the 36 and the 28?

A. Yes.
Q. Is that something you did in your job?
A. Yes.
Q. So my question is what's the difference between the wear
that results from the 28-millimeter head and the 36 when the
diametrical clearance is open?
A. We tend to still consistently see low -- equivalent or
lower wear with the 36.
Q. What's the effect on the pattern or -- or what we might
call the wear patch when you open up the diametrical --
diametrical clearance?
A. So when we opened up the clearance for the 36 from the 40
to 80 microns to the 80 to 120 microns, it made the wear
patches that you would expect between the 28-millimeter
articulation and the 36 to be the same.
Q. Which got cleared through 510(k) with the FDA first, the
28 or the 36?
A. The 28.
Q. Okay. So when you opened up the diametrical clearance on
the 36, how did that relate to the 28?
A. It made the effective radius of the 36 the same as the
28.
Q. How did the testing you conducted on the one-piece device
relate to the diametrical clearance on the 36 after you
determined it should be widened?

A. The testing we had on the 36 with the same high carbon
cobalt chrome and the same geometry, with nearly equivalent
clearances, the wear was very, very low.
Q. Let me see if I understand.
Why don't you just explain to us what -- why you were
confident that opening up the diametrical clearance wouldn't
change the performance?
A. We were confident because the wear testing that we
already had on the 36-millimeter articulation was a clearance
that was actually more similar than what had been initially
proposed as part of the FDA submission. So by opening up the
clearance, it actually made the component more similar to the
one we had simulator testing for already.
Q. Okay. And what -- how -- how did it -- what effect did
it have with regard to the similarity to the 28 that the FDA
had already approved?
A. It -- it -- it gave it the same -- essentially the same
contact area or the same effective radius.
Q. Now, did you -- After it was cleared, did you continue to
test to determine whether the wear on the 36-millimeter was
low?
A. We did.
Q. And what was the result?
A. Consistently low wear.
Q. Okay. And did you not only test -- and you're talking

about wear in simulators, I assume?
A. That's correct.
Q. Okay. Did you also -- Are you aware that the explanted
devices from Mr. Klusmann, Dr. Greer, and Captain Peterson
were published in this case?
A. Yes.
Q. And that Pat Campbell did that measurement?
A. Yes.
Q. What did she report regarding their wear characteristics
on the devices that were taken out of their hips?
A. In her opinion, they also exhibited low wear.
Q. Is that consistent with your simulator testing?
A. That is.
Q. Is that consistent with what you saw with both
28-millimeter and 36-millimeter diametrical clearances?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. Does -- Let's make sure we're clear on this, too.
Does diametrical clearance have anything in the world to
do with subluxation or laxity?
A. It does not.
Q. How did the diametrical clearance of the 36-millimeter
after you opened it up compare to other metal-on-metal devices
that were on the market at that time?
A. It -- the clearance is actually still slightly lower on
the high end than the Metasul 28-millimeter metal-on-metal.

Q. What -- what was the potential effect of the
36-millimeter with the narrower clearance before you widened
it with regard to its friction and seizing?
A. So the -- the potential -- the potential issue with
that -- as I think I discussed the first day I was sitting
here -- was that if the clearance is too small between the
components, there's a risk of high friction and the bearing
seizing, is what you would call it, which was one of the known
issues of the original -- the first-generation metal-on-metal
components.
Q. So did the widening of the clearance -- And I don't think
this was clear --
MR. LANIER: Object to leading.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. What effect did the widening of the clearance have on the
safety and efficacy of the 36-millimeter Ultamet?
A. So I felt like it actually was a better factor of safety
by -- by opening up the clearance still within a range that we
had already tested, but it significantly reduced any concern
of the component seizing -- seizing, in my opinion, and of
other research folks on the team believed that that was a
better factor of safety for the product. It actually reduced
the risk.
Q. Was the diametrical clearance to which you opened it,

which I think is 80 to 120 -- right?
A. That's correct.
Q. Okay. Had that been contemplated before that November
2000 time period?
A. Yes. In fact, when the tribologists from the Leeds
organization and the Warsaw organizations came together for a
kick off of sort of the metal-on-metal project in determining
the articular surface parameters, it was very clearly outlined
there by Frank Chan in a technical analysis provided that was
supportive of the effective radius for determining clearance
for the 36-millimeter.
Q. Okay. Now let's go to the 510(k) itself.
The question, Ms. Turner, is whether you tried to
intentionally deceive the FDA. You understand the issue,
right?
A. I understand the issue.
Q. Okay. Did you?
A. I absolutely did not try to fool the FDA.
Q. Okay. Let's look -- let's start here.

Q. Okay. Ms. Turner, what I want to draw your attention to
is this sentence where it says, "DePuy believes this
modification is eligible for 510(k) since the product has the
same fundamental scientific technology and intended use as the
predicate device.
What was the predicate device?
A. I'm sorry. Would you mind moving that up on the ELMO,
please?
Q. I'm so sorry.
A. Thank you. The predicate device -- this is the
submission for the 36. The predicate device was the 28

Ultamet.
Q. So why would you say it has the same fundamental
scientific technology as the predicate device?
A. We believe in terms of their particular surface
parameters, the technology in the application was the same.
Q. You said that really fast.
Say it again.
A. We believed that the scientific technology behind the
articular bearing surfaces was the same.
Q. And why would you think that if you had changed the
diametrical clearance on the 36 from what it had been with the
28?
A. Because we were effectively maintaining the contact area,
what would be the -- the wear area was now being -- was being
maintained between the 28 and the 36, and we believe that to
be equivalent.
Q. Okay. Under "Basis of substantial equivalence: The
intended use, articular surface characteristics, material and
locking mechanism with the outer shell are the same. The only
minor change is to the interior diameter of the cup, which is
now 36-millimeter."
Does that statement in any way relate to the diametrical
clearance of the liner?
A. So the articular surface characteristics, there are many
of them. And as we had discussed, clearance can be one, and

effective radius is -- is another. So yeah. So I think that
that adequately covers our change in clearance to maintain the
effective radius.
Q. Under "Device description and comparison" it talks about
"Same articular surface requirements, same effective radius."
A. Yes.
Q. What's the effect of putting that in the application?
A. That was our intention to describe to the FDA how the
36-millimeter was substantially equivalent to the
28-millimeter.
Q. They -- they both have the same --
MR. LANIER: Objection, leading.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Do they -- Explain whether they have the same effective
radius.
A. They do.
Q. You note under "Verification tests" "Acceptance
Criteria." What are you explaining there?
A. Part of the process for a 510(k) is for us to identify
through our own design control process, which is something we
had also talked about, what the modification is, what the test
or verification that would be performed is and the acceptance
criteria.
So our acceptance criteria for the 36-millimeter was that

it would have wear equivalent to or less than the

Q. And what was your basis for that?
A. We had wear testing for high cobalt chrome 36-millimeter
articular bearing surface.
Q. Okay. So here's -- On this issue of whether you were
trying to fool the FDA, is that your note?
A. That is.
Q. And is it dated and initialed by you?
A. I think it is. If you'll shrink it, yes, I'll be able to
tell you. Yes, it is. November 13th of 2000.

Is it again?
A. It is. Yes.
Q. Turn the page. Is it there again?
A. It is.
Q. How does that -- How do these notations, these
handwritten notations, relate to the diametrical clearance?

drawings for the 36-millimeter to open the clearance from 40
to 80 microns to 80 to 120 microns.

Q. Yeah. Did you leave the table saying the word "same"
intentionally?
A. I did not.
And as I sit here under oath today, I did not
intentionally try to fool the FDA. This was -- it was a
mistake on my part. I had absolutely no knowledge of this
mistake until it was brought to my attention in 2005.
I would not and did not then and would not ever
intentionally try to falsify information to the FDA. That
would be horrifically irresponsible to my company, and as well
it does not align with my own values.
Q. Okay. Let's move to this issue of warning information.
First, let's put it in context.
Who does DePuy provide warning information to?
A. We provide warning information to our surgeons.
Q. By what means is warning information provided that
accompanies the product?
A. The information -- instructions for use is part of every
product that is sold.

Q. How does the IFU get involved with the 510(k) clearance?
A. The IFU is part of a 510(k) clearance submission.
Q. In fact, that document we were just looking at, Exhibit
467, has as part of it a review of the information for use,
correct?
A. That is correct.
Q. In addition to the information contained in the
information for use, what else did DePuy do with regard to
providing information to surgeons?
A. There was a tremendous -- tremendous amount of training
for surgeons, as well as some materials available for their
own consumption that included that information.
Q. You were described earlier as a -- to be involved in
techno marketing, right?
A. Yes.
Q. And Mr. Lanier used exhibit -- Plaintiff's Exhibit 1565
with you. Let's take a look at that quickly.
Were you involved in surgeon visitations?
A. Yes.
Q. Were you involved in surgeon presentations?
A. Yes.

similar slides would have been sort of used and recycled, for
lack of a better word, with our other surgeon presentations as
well as sales force training.

Q. What is a Bearings Compendium?
A. It is a collection of information about a variety of our
bearing products.
Q. Mr. Lanier showed you a video yesterday of a satellite
broadcast that took place. Remember that?
A. Yes.
Q. Where the officer introduced the -- the video?
A. Yes.
Q. What relationship does the Bearings Compendium have to
that satellite broadcast?
A. This Bearings Compendium was distributed to all of the

Q. Was that the only one that was done?
A. The only broadcast?
Q. No.
A. Or the only compendium?
Q. Only compendium.
A. No. There was another one done, an updated one done
several years later.
Q. Okay. Let me have that one back, please, so I can ask
you about it.
Ms. Turner, we've looked at this once before, not you and
I, but in this trial. So what is the metal-on-metal path of
the Bearings Compendium?
A. So this is a collection of papers relating to
metal-on-metal implants.
Q. Does it discuss wear and lubrication?
A. It does.
Q. Does it discuss Metal-on-metal Versus Polyethylene in Hip
Arthroplasty: A Randomized Clinical Trial?
A. Yes, it does.
Q. Does it include papers?
A. Yes.
Q. Reprints of published papers?
A. Yes.
Q. Including papers about metal-on-metal total hip

A. Yes.
Q. About the risk of cancer?
A. Yes.
Q. About cancer risk after metal-on-metal and
metal-on-poly?
A. Yes.
Q. Did it also have a similar -- another half of it that
related to issues about polyethylene?
A. Yes.
Q. I'm handing you --
A. Thank you.
Q. -- Exhibit 992, ma'am.
Is that a subsequent Bearings Compendium?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. Was that also published by DePuy?
A. Yes.
Q. And if you turn to page 992.11, are there photos of
revision issues?

about revisions involving polyethylene, ceramic, and metal.
A. Yes.
Q. Let me hand you Exhibit 2142, ma'am. What is that?
A. Information, the Importance of Correct Acetabular
Component Positioning.
Q. By the way, that second Bearings Compendium, was that in
2008?
A. That's my understanding, yes.
Q. Okay. And if we look at this one, and look down at the
bottom.
Was this one in -- 10,000 copies in February of '09?
A. That's correct.
Q. And this is Exhibit 2142. Does it also talk about metal,
ceramic, and polyethylene adverse issues?
A. It does.
Q. Now, those are -- this document, it's called The
Importance of Correct Acetabular Component Positioning?
A. Yes.
Q. Was that part of a campaign that you did?
A. Yes.

Q. Positioning of edge loading?
A. Yes.
So when the -- my pieces are gone. The acetabular cup is
positioned, about the sort of inclination and anteversion of
the -- of the cup.
Q. And we've already been over, I think, the issue of
warnings contained at the back of the surgical technique. Do
you recall that?
A. Yes.
Q. And specifically tissue reactions?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, the surgical technique was for the cup, wasn't it?
A. Yes.
MR. LANIER: Object to leading.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. What was the surgical technique?
A. This was for the acetabular cup system.
Q. Okay. Would that -- how many different liners would that
have included?
A. That would have included all of the bearings that were
available at the time, polyethylene and metal.

reactions?
A. Generally speaking, tissue reactions to either of those
bearing surfaces --
Q. Okay.
A. -- or the cup itself.
Q. Let's move to the technical monograph.
There's an issue about the references in the technical
monograph. Right?
A. Yes.
Q. So why do you think the technical monograph was --
accurately recited the literature?
A. Frank Chan was one of the major contributors to this
entire document, and he had an extensive bibliography in terms
of assessing the current literature that was available in
terms of providing at this -- at the time this was created the
most accurate information we could -- we could.
Q. Okay. Let's -- let's look at what's in the technical
monograph. We've been over and over it, but I want us to make
sure.
Tell me what's -- if we were to sum up the first

paragraph, how could we sum it up?
A. I think in terms of the first paragraph we talk about
that it's -- that it's very low wear but that there are still
unknowns, known unknowns, related to biological issues.
Q. Read the last sentence for us, please.
A. "This may be of some concern because the full biological
response to metal particles or ions is currently unknown."
Q. Was that consistent with your understanding?
A. Yes.
Q. Second paragraph, what are we talking about here?
A. Biological response to metal wear particles.
Q. What does "histological" mean?
A. Body response.
Q. And tissues around the metal-on-metal hip implants is
also referred to as what?
A. I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.
Q. Right. So what are -- what is periprosthetic area?
A. Oh, around the implant.
Q. It talks about this mild response, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Why do you think that was accurate?
A. I think that the reference to the Campbell paper and
Campbell references the Willert paper, and I believe that --
Q. Let me stop you because I don't think we heard that.
Campbell references what?

matches this.
Q. Okay. Does it stop there and just say it's mild?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Does the technical monograph stop there?
A. Yes.
Q. And what does the next paragraph concern?
A. It talks about concerns with potential biological
implications of metal degradation products.
Q. What are metal degradation products?
A. Ions.
Q. Does it note that they could corrode intracellularly?
A. Yes.
Q. Does it note about biological effects?
A. Yes.
Q. What does it say about toxicity?
A. "It was recognized that metal particles could cause a
macrophage-mediated inflammatory response where metal ions can
elicit an immune response with the production of various

cytokines."
Q. Did Dr. Campbell's article say anything about cytokines,
if you recall?
Let me see if I can --
A. I'm sorry, I don't -- I need a reference.
Q. That's fair enough. I'll try to find it and come back to
it in a minute.
A. Thank you.
Q. Next paragraph.
Does it talk about toxicity?
A. Yes.
Q. And this last sentence, read that sentence for us,
please.
A. "There is some data suggesting increased metal levels in
serum and urine in patients with metal-on-metal hips, but the
clinical significance of these increased levels is unknown."
Q. Did -- is this something that was addressed when you
would do those presentations to sales force and surgeons?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you -- do you know whether that's accurate?
A. Yes.
Q. That sentence?
A. I believe that is accurate.
Q. Ma'am, let me hand you Dr. Campbell's article, which is
Defendant's Exhibit 5174. I think you had it earlier.

A. Yes.
Q. What's it say about the histological reactions?
A. "The histological reaction to metal wear particles was
described as mild."
Q. And then what does it go on to say?
A. "And the predominant macrophage response was particles of
PMMA.
Q. What's PMMA?
A. Bone cement.
Q. Was histology discussed?
A. Yes.
Q. Up above the mild part?
A. "The periprosthetic histology and wear particle
morphology of the second generation metal-metal total hip
replacements were consistent with the low wear of these
bearings in vivo and were similar to those reported for first
generation metal-metal THRs."
Q. If we go to the next page, I'm looking for the mild part.
Here it is.
Read the part that Mr. Lanier took you to.
A. "Thus, despite the presence of potentially large numbers

of nanometer-sized metal particles in the periprosthetic
tissues, the macrophage and giant cell response to them could
be described as mild."
Q. Okay. Now let's read the next sentence.
A. "However, immunohistochemical studies have indicated that
cobalt chrome particles can induce the release of potentially
osteolytic cytokines."
Q. Okay. And?
A. "And potentially adverse effects including
hypersensitivity and chromosomal damage have been reported in
the literature."
Q. Okay. And if we go back to the technical monograph for a
moment, does it again address cytokines?
A. Yes.
Q. At the bottom of the left column, ma'am.
A. I'm sorry, yes.
Q. The particles?
A. "While metals ions can elicit an immune response with the
production of various cytokines."
Q. Now, you did note hypersensitivity itself is not known to
be a cause of implant failure, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Why?
Why did you note that?
Or why did Dr. Chan note it and why did you talk about

it?
A. He noted it because there was information in the
literature. A specific reference I'm aware of is in the CORR
1996 document that states to this effect.
Q. Is there a difference between an IDE study and a cleared
device?
A. Yes.
Q. Does that affect the warnings in your experience?
A. Yes.
Q. How?
MR. LANIER: Your Honor, I'm going to object to her
testifying unless she's proven up as an expert on the FDA. I
think we have one of those coming.
She said she was not in regulatory. She didn't interface
with the FDA. This is outside her area.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: I'm not offering her as an expert,
Your Honor. I'm asking her about what her experience and her
level of experience is with it.
THE COURT: I'll let her answer that one question,
and then we'll see where she is.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Thank you.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Ma'am, go ahead.
A. In my experience specifically with the IDE study for the
one-piece metal-on-metal that there are -- because it's an

investigational device, there is a different set of warnings
or a different level of warnings that would be approved by
the -- the FDA. The FDA mandates some of those. Versus for
an investigational device, you need to include a more broad
spectrum of any possible complication versus typical warnings
for devices that are things that are more known to be a risk.
MR. LANIER: Your Honor, I object to the answer as
nonresponsive. It went beyond the scope of what you allowed
her to answer and called for expert opinions in an area she
has no expertise.
THE COURT: Sustain the objection. The jury is
instructed to disregard the last answer.
Go ahead.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. I want to talk to you about the Ultima and the Ultima TPS
stem.
A. Okay.
Q. Tell us about the Ultima and the Ultima TPS stem.
A. Ultima -- Ultima hip is the 28-millimeter metal-on-metal
device that was a predicate, as we discussed, to Ultamet.
The Ultima TPS stem was a highly polished cemented stem
that was only available outside of the United States.
Q. Was there a study in the U.K.?
A. There was a study in the U.K. on the Ultima
metal-on-metal hip. One of the stems that could be utilized

with that product was the Ultima TPS stem.
Q. Was there an issue with the TPS stem?
A. We found that there was, yes, an issue with the
combination of those two products.
Q. And what was the issue?
A. The issue was that in -- in one center it was found that
there was a significant amount of corrosion at the TPS
polished stem interface. So the interface between the stem
and the bone cement, there was a significant amount of
corrosion noted in some cases.
Q. Was that issue studied?
A. It was studied.
Q. Did DePuy help fund the study?
A. Yes.
Q. And let me show you what we've identified as Defendant's
Exhibit -- I'm sorry, Plaintiff's Exhibit 178.
A. Thank you.
Q. What is that, ma'am?
A. This is a study, an investigation into the performance of
the Ultima TPS metal-on-metal hip replacement, July of 2008.
Q. So Mr. Lanier asked you earlier if the problem occurred
when there was a poly liner. Right?
A. Correct.
Q. Did the problem occurred when there was a poly liner?
A. Correct.

with a different stem.
Q. Is the TPS stem sold in the U.S.?
A. It is not.
Q. Has it ever been?
A. No.
Q. So if you had the Ultima cup, the Ultima liner, a femoral
head and a stem other than the TPS, was there an issue?
A. We found very good results with that type of combination.
Q. And who is -- I think it's Bryant.
I'm trying to remember who wrote the -- who conducted the
study and published the paper.
Here. Let me hand you Defendant's Exhibit 5157.
What is that?
A. Thank you.
This is a publication by Michael Bryant
Q. Is --
A. I'm sorry. "Crevice Corrosion of Biomedical Alloys."
Q. Is it about that very issue with the TPS stem?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. And if you referred back to exhibit -- Plaintiff's
Exhibit 178 -- if we can go back there, is this part of that
investigation?

Q. What was the conclusion at the very bottom.
A. "These patients do not appear to be" -- Sorry.
"These problems do not appear to be related to the Ultima
metal-on-metal bearing itself."
Q. What is the bearing itself?
A. Bearing means the combination of the head and the metal
liner.
Q. What effect, if any, did that have on your comfort level
with regard to Ultamet?
A. I was comfortable relying on the clinical results of
Ultima with other femoral stems.
Q. You were asked about TrueGlide, remember?
A. Yes.
Q. And you were shown that brochure with TrueGlide on it?
A. Yes.
Q. Remember that?
What was your understanding regarding lubrication of hips
when you made presentations on that -- in that regard?
A. So my understanding is that throughout the hip cycle or
throughout a motion cycle that you will go between various
lubrication regimes within a single cycle.
So it is difficult to say does it have this without

specifying more contextually the time period you're speaking
of.
Q. Are you familiar with a publication by Sontag?
A. Yes.
Q. Let me hand you what I've identified as 6031.
What was the topic of conversation in Sontag?
A. "Hard-on-hard Lubrication in the Artificial Hip Under
Dynamic Leading Conditions."
Q. And did Sontag model lubrication regimes?
A. He did.
Q. And without going into great detail, because I'm running
out of time, tell us what Sontag found, and it's on page 7 of
that article, ma'am.
A. So what you see here is an analysis that says which part
of the lubrication regime -- whether boundary, mixed or fluid
film lubrication -- you would see under various conditions --
walking, climbing stairs, descending stairs or the standard
iso protocol that you might see in a simulator.
Q. All right. Quickly looking at that design rationale
which Mr. Lanier showed you, Plaintiff's 43, if we look under
the issue of tribology, my question for you is: Did you ever
say -- did DePuy ever say that there was no friction?
A. No.
Q. Described less friction?
A. Less friction.

A. Dramatically decreased wear.
Q. Okay. Did you -- did you ever claim that you had a
wear-free device?
A. No.
Q. If it had full fluid film lubrication all the time what
would that be?
A. If it had full fluid film lubrication all the time, there
would be no wear.
Q. Is there such a thing as a wear-free device?
A. Not for a total hip.
Q. When did the TrueGlide brand, or whatever you want to
call it, the TrueGlide technology -- when did those words get
used by DePuy?
A. I believe it was in the mid-to-late 2000s.
Q. Let me show you Plaintiff's Exhibit 174 that Mr. Lanier
talked to you about. This was where Paul Berman was
describing TrueGlide, I believe.
A. Yes.

RECROSS EXAMINATION
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Okay. Ma'am, by my count there's five areas I need to
talk to you about. All right?
I've got 24 minutes. I may even save one or two back, if
I can.
Let's start with TrueGlide where y'all left off. We'll
go backwards.
It's real clear what y'all were claiming to doctors. All
we have to do is look at the ads.
For example, 3728, one of the Coach K ads in the Journal
of Bone and Joint Surgery. We can look at the ad. This
doesn't have the three pictures. It's just got one.
TrueGlide technology, "Bearing surfaces are fully separated
and the load fully supported by the lubricating fluid."
That's the only thing y'all say in there, isn't it?
A. That's the only picture we have reflected in this ad.
Q. Yes, ma'am.
And you don't say anything about, well, that happens

sometimes maybe on the right day for the right, precise moment
when your leg is swung back right here in a walking stage.
Doesn't say that, does it?
A. It does not say that.
Q. But the fact that there is this mixed regime where
sometimes the load is supported and sometimes it's not, we
covered that earlier. That's called mixed lubrication,
partially supported, some interaction. Mixed, isn't it?
A. Well, I think what we find is that --
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. It's called mixed lubrication, where it's partially
supported with some interaction, correct?
A. At a point in time, yes.
Q. All right. Now, in that regard, ma'am, the company tried
to use the same theory and the company had to run its ad on
ceramic-on-metal past the FDA. Did you know that?
A. Yes.
Q. The company never had to run the metal-on-metal ad past
the FDA. FDA never got to see metal-on-metal. But the FDA
got to see ceramic-on-metal, correct?
A. They saw this, yes.
Q. And y'all made the same claim in the ceramic-on-metal.
You made the claim of fluid film -- full fluid film

lubrication, didn't you?
Do you remember?
A. I -- I'm not actually familiar with this specific -- I
don't know if you can refer me to a page, please.
Q. Do you recall making the claim to the FDA of full fluid
film lubrication and the FDA telling you you're not allowed to
make that claim? No such thing?
A. So I did not personally make the claim. I'm aware of the
topic.
Q. When y'all tried to tell the FDA you were going to make
the claim of TrueGlide and fluid film lubrication -- I've
handed you Plaintiff's 613 -- the FDA wrote back and the FDA
said no.
Here was your claim, "Only Pinnacle hips feature
TrueGlide technology, allowing the body to create a thin film
of lubrication."
"To establish true fluid film lubrication between the
surfaces."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. And the FDA said no?
A. No for this bearing combination, yes.
Q. Well, no. Period. You can't make that claim based upon
your theoretical calculation. "Claims cannot be made based
on" that.

A. I think my understanding is that only theoretical
calculations --
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.
THE COURT: Sustained.
THE WITNESS: I see that.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. And if you try to make the claim you just made to the
jury, "If the fluid film height is improved over
metal-on-metal, fluid film generation still will only be 1 to
5 percent of a step," one step.
That's the gait cycle, right?
Swing phase -- well, lift phase, swing phase, plant
phase.
A. Yes.
Q. That's the gait cycle, right?
A. Yes.
Q. So the FDA said if you're right that you have some fluid
film lubrication, at best it's over 1 to 5 percent of a single
step as long as you continue to move, because once you stop
you lose it.
So 95 percent of the time it's operating under mixed
lubrication. And the FDA won't allow you to say that. Y'all
were --
A. In this combination, that's correct.

Q. Right. Because this is the ceramic-on-metal, but the FDA
said even -- that they -- y'all were claiming that this was
improved over metal-on-metal, that this was actually better in
ceramic than it was in metal.
Do you see that?
A. I see what it says.
Q. So y'all told the FDA, please, please, please, we know
it's not there on metal-on-metal, but this is improved, can we
say it's full fluid film lubrication.
The FDA says there's no way you can say that.
Then your company is stuck. Because you got all these
ads about metal-on-metal claiming it, and you've been told by
the FDA you're not allowed to claim it on the ceramic. So all
of the thinkers back at the company start saying, what are we
going to do? Should we pull it down?
A. I was not part of any of these conversations. I can't
speak to what was said.
Q. Well, they're right here. They're on the front of this.
Johnson & Johnson is a part of it.
"Marlene and Nancy --" explain to us -- that's Marlene,
the Johnson & Johnson lawyer, right?
A. Johnson & Johnson Services, yes.
Q. Well, no, Johnson & Johnson period on a bunch of those
emails, not just services. Right?

"Marlene and Nancy explained to us what was happening
with the FDA and TrueGlide. We removed the TrueGlide section
from our new patient education brochure."
"We're now running into several brochures in other
materials --" metal-on-metal "-- that contain TrueGlide.
What's the protocol for how we handle the preexisting material
while we're waiting for the FDA to approve this new device?"
Do you remember that quandary?
A. I was not involved in that.
Q. You don't know about the company deciding just run with
it, the FDA will never know?
A. No.
Q. All right. Next subject. Ultima.
Ma'am, the point of the Ultima -- I told the jury with
you that it seemed to be the stem and the bearing in tandem,
right?
A. Yes.
Q. But the point of this: It was not found with
metal-on-poly, but this shows wear, doesn't it?
The wear was important from the metal-on-metal.
A. My recollection of the conclusion was that the bearing --
the wear at the bearing surface was extremely low.
MR. LANIER: Objection, nonresponsive.

BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Ma'am, you got to answer my questions. I'm short in
time.
The conclusion was that the metal-on-metal wear between
the bearings and the metal off of the stem in tandem were the
problem, correct?
A. I'm -- I'm -- I'm not sure of the exact language.
Q. All right. Regardless, here's the key. This is what I
was showing.
This showed that the metal debris hurts. It doesn't
matter if the metal debris is coming off of the stem and the
ball or the ball and the liner, or some combination thereof.
Y'all knew as of March 2004, before any of these plaintiffs
got their implants, y'all knew the metal debris caused
problems, didn't you?
A. No.
Q. Ma'am, it's in the exhibit. It's in Plaintiff's Exhibit
178, the investigation y'all did.
"This began in March 2004 --"
A. Yes.
Q. "-- with the recommendation to only use the implant in
patients expecting it."
"By August 2004 it was clear the problem was greater than
originally thought. The implant's use was discontinued."
What's the problem you say?

Included is this, "The metal ions released have killed
the bone, they have killed the soft tissues around the hip,
they have resulted in pseudotumors, they have resulted in the
tendons ripping away and they have resulted in bone death."
Everything the plaintiffs in this case y'all knew were
coming from metal ions as of March 2004, didn't you?
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: Object to the compound question.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: You've read this correctly.
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. All right. That's the point of the Ultima, ma'am.
The key is it's metal debris causing it. Whatever piece
it's coming off of, metal ions will rip these people up. And
y'all knew it, didn't you?
A. No.
Q. And you're still parading around, next subject, the
technical monograph, in spite of what you know in Ultima. And
you've got this bad warnings in the back. Not one whisper of
what you've learned about metal ions from Ultima.
You're still saying the full biological response is
unknown.
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. You're not telling people, well, we've been investigating
a problem overseas for some time and the metal ions released

biological response is unknown?

Q. And then you lapse into this paragraph about how it looks
like it's better than metal-on-poly, though, because it's
mild, and you leave out the "however."
A. No.
Q. Well, you say no because of the other article. You're
saying we're actually not quoting the article we say we're
quoting. We're quoting the Willert article that's -- this is
like a chain reaction. We're quoting Pat Campbell -- or not
quoting Pat Campbell, we just listed her so people would go to
her and find out she's quoting someone else and then they
would go to that other article and they would read it and they
would understand.
That's your argument, isn't it?

particles was regarded as mild. It's in the abstract.
Q. Yes. On the abstract is the language you want to use?
A. I believe that's the correct place.

particles was described as mild?
Macrophage and giant cell is not here in Willert. It's
only found on page 206 of the article y'all actually cited,
right in front of that word, "however."
Do you see that, ma'am?

Now we got handed finally at the end of the trial -- near
the end of the trial, the end of your testimony, a stack of
things where y'all issued the warnings, starting with this
handout brochure and then another big thick one and then a
small one.
Do you remember these?
A. Yes.
Q. You just testified about them.
A. Yes.
Q. All right. Let's be real honest with the jury. There's
a lot to be gained by doing something more than reading a
table of contents, isn't there?
These are sales efforts. This isn't warnings. These are
anti-warnings, aren't they?
A. No.
Q. Yeah. Y'all are telling people don't worry about what
you're hearing, everything is going to be fine.

A. I don't think I have that in front of me anymore, sir.
Q. All right. I don't know how -- oh, that's right. He
took it away from you. I'm sorry, he only gave me one copy,
so I have to read it together.
This is the very first thing that says -- this is one of
these things where supposedly y'all are warning people, "The
choice of bearing surface for total hip arthroplasty involves
an analysis of relative risks and benefits.
"The benefits of metal-on-metal include more than 30
years of clinical experience, consistently low wear rates,
wear occurrence of osteolysis, no reports of gross material
failure, runaway wear."
He must not have seen y'all's simulator studies, huh?

diameters provide a very high-level of performance with

That's not a warning, is it?
A. That specific language is not.
Q. Look at the next one.
"In view of the problems associated with polyethylene
wear particles, metal-on-metal implants may represent a more
favorable bearing combination because of the potential for
reductions in wear."
That's not a warning, is it?
A. That specific language is not.
Q. Look at the next one.
"Autopsy analysis after metal-on-metal hips --" by
another doctor who is going to make the billions of dollars
off of this without telling anyone.
"Although this elderly female is not representative of
the younger more active patients that currently are getting
metal-on-metal, there are some important aspects in this. The
main concerns with metal-on-metal bearings are local --"

THE COURT: Okay.
MR. LANIER: Thank you for fixing it.
"Metal-on-metal bearings are the local and systemic
effects of long-term exposure to cobalt or chromium ions.
Despite the potentially higher metal ion release from this
patient's femoral components there was hardly any evidence of
metallic debris in the nodes or organs. There was no evidence
of abnormal histology. These findings combined with the
polished surfaces showing very low wear are encouraging and
support the continued use of metal-on-metal bearings."
Do you see that?
A. I see that.
Q. This isn't a warning, this is propaganda --
A. No.
Q. -- isn't it?
A. No.
Q. This doesn't say, hey, we just finished an analysis over
in Australia and we figured out that these metal ions are
causing all of the problems everybody worries about, does it?
Doesn't say it, does it?
A. It does not say that.
Q. Next, Defendant's 992, advancing high stability and low
wear.

"Section 1" -- section 1 is not warnings. It's benefits
of metal-on-metal, isn't it?
A. That's what it says.
Q. "The intent of this is to review the benefits of
metal-on-metal. It's important to remember why the market
moved to swiftly to metal-on-metal."
Section 2, considerations.
"Section two addresses considerations today's surgeons
should understand."
Two subsections. Adverse response. Now if you just read
the title it looks like this is a warning. But read the
substance.
"This section is intended to bring background and
perspective to the topic of adverse tissue response and
hypersensitivity. The data in this section reinforces the
relatively low incidence of metal reactivity, .24 percent,
and notes the positive benefit-to-risk ratio."
That's not warning. That's an anti-warning, isn't it?
A. I think it's meant to provide data.

"Metal-on-metal is a great option for today's active
patients. However, it is not the only option." So here are
some alternates if you still don't want to use it.
That's not a warning, is it?
A. No.
Q. Okay. Next. The third one that we just got handed.
You can tell by looking, "The importance of correct
positioning."
This is the one that had the pictures of edge-loading and
poly breaking and all the rest.
Tell the jury what that device is.
A. That's ASR resurfacing.
Q. Excuse me. That's an ASR?
A. Well, I think -- I'm not sure what that is.

you and I discussed yesterday. This isn't something new in

on file on the Ultamet itself. Y'all were extrapolating your
results from a different device, right?
A. Our testing was on a different device, yes.
Q. And then you were asked, well, why would you have made
this change if you were trying to hide it in these drawings
after drawings after drawings. Remember?
A. Yes.
Q. I went over those with you yesterday, didn't I?
A. Yes.
Q. You have to make those changes. Because if you don't
make those changes, then anybody who measures the device is
able to say the device is, quote, out of spec. And there's
lots of bad stuff that happens if the device is out of spec,
correct?
A. I'm not sure what you mean.
Q. Oh, like FDA does -- comes down, inspects all your
manufacturing, inspects everything you've done. Any time you
get a head back that's out of spec or a liner out of spec, you
get those over and over. You're in trouble.
So you told the FDA what the right specs are for the
liner. What you didn't tell them is that you have changed the
clearance, did you?
A. Clearance is not listed on the engineering drawing, no.
Q. Exactly.
MR. LANIER: Thank you, Your Honor. I'll save my

REDIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. Ultima, Ms. Turner?
A. Yes.
Q. I handed you just a minute ago Plaintiff's Exhibit 178.
Right?
A. Okay.
Q. Turn to page -- it has 32 down at the bottom.
Last metal hip.
A. I'm sorry. I've got a big pile here. I think I found
it.
Q. Page 32, comments.
Again, this is part of the study of the Ultima TPS issue.
A. Got it.
Q. Read for us what it says where it starts, "The reason."
A. "The reason for the failure was excessive corrosion from
the cobalt chromium femoral stem causing metal ionosis from 39
percent of the histological specimens showed -- only 39
percent of the histological specimens showed obvious metal
fragments."
Q. Keep going.

A. "The bearing surfaces were pristine with the corrosion
confined to where the femoral stem is in direct contact with
the acrylic cement."
Q. Tell us what that last sentence means.
A. That the source of the ions was not the bearing surface.
Q. It was where the stem --
MR. LANIER: Objection, leading.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. What -- what -- what happened between the stem and the
cement?
A. The corrosion was at the interface between the femoral
stem and the cement.
Q. Read the next sentence.
A. "The corrosion led to a massive metal ionosis which
caused necrosis in the periprosthetic tissues."
Q. What does that mean?
A. Death around the tissue around the implant.
Q. Where did -- what was the source of the ions?
A. The source was the corrosion -- corrosion of the femoral
stem.
Q. Again, tell us about that stem and whether it was sold in
the U.S.
A. That stem was not ever sold in the United States.
Q. Testing. Did you test the Ultamet 36-millimeter device?

of the 36-millimeter device. Is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. Was that a test report?
A. Yes -- No.
Q. What was it?
A. An email, one graph, that was attached to an email.
Q. Have you done tests of the 36-millimeter device?
A. Yes.
Q. Head-to-head with what?
A. Head-to-head with a variety of things, head-to-head with
28, head-to-head with the 36 device, head-to-head with Sulzer,
head-to-head with Ultima, head-to-head with 28 Ultamet.
Q. How been ASR?
A. ASR, yes.
Q. When I say 36 millimeter device, what are we talking
about?
A. The Ultamet.
Q. The Ultamet?
A. Yes.
Q. With the opened up diametrical clearance?
A. Yes.
Q. How did it do?
A. It did well.

Q. What do you mean well?
A. Most tests head-to-head for 36 Ultamet versus ASR showed
lower wear with the Ultamet device.
Q. Now, Mr. Lanier showed you a test where there was a graph
that showed a line going up for Ultamet?
A. Yes.
Q. What's the significance of that graph?
I think you were trying to explain that earlier.
A. Right. I think what I was trying to explain earlier was
he alluded to one particular ASR component versus one
particular Pinnacle component and said -- or ASR, I'm sorry --
see that this one wore less than that one, and with a wear
test all of your components are going to have slightly lower
wear.
I've never seen a wear test where all simulator stations
and all the data lines up exactly on top of each other. And
so what is done is you run typically multiple specimens --
unless sometimes in this -- in the case of the control only
one -- multiple specimens and then you report your results per
specimen, not individual components.
Q. Okay. So I found it.
There it is.
A. Yes.
Q. Is that -- does that surprise you?
A. What -- to be honest what surprises me most on this is

the overall low volumetric wear.
If you look at the scale on the left-hand side, we're
looking at 4 plus million cycles, and none of the specimens
have exceeded two cubic millimeters. That's extremely low.
So when you're looking at such a narrow window -- what
looks really big here is really not that big of a change on a
scale of wear.
Q. So let me make sure I -- I got that.
We heard earlier --
MR. LANIER: I'm going to object to leading --
THE COURT: Sustained
MR. LANIER: -- making sure he got it.
THE COURT: Sustained.
BY MR. QUATTLEBAUM:
Q. So how many cubic millimeters of wear are expected in
vivo per year?
A. Depending on the bearing surface --
Q. Well, metal-on-metal.
A. -- I believe what Pat Campbell had indicated her
definition for low wear would be 1 to 3 cubic millimeters per
year.
Q. 1 to 3?
A. Yes. I believe that's --
Q. Per year?
A. Per year.

on this graph?
Would it be -- would that be it?
A. Yes. Yes.
Q. And this represented -- This was out to here
(indicating), was how many cycles?
A. 5 million.
Q. Which would be the equivalent of what?
A. Two and a half.
Q. Two and a half years?
A. Two and a half years.
Q. Okay. So that could be as high as seven and a half?
A. Yes.
Q. And it only got to what?

A. 1.8.
Q. So you said what was most remarkable to you about this
graph was what?
A. The overall low wear for all components.

RECROSS EXAMINATION
BY MR. LANIER:
Q. Ma'am, y'all have just mixed apples and oranges to quote
you from yesterday, didn't you?
A. I'm not sure. Help me with it.
Q. What you've done is taken Pat's wear figures for wear in
a human and compared them to wearing in a simulator machine
which is by y'all's own acceptance best-case scenario, right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Next subject.
Did y'all look at this before you read it to the jury?
And by "this" I'm talking about the conclusions that
y'all knew and what you found as of March 2004.
I mean, you understand the section y'all read is the
section I didn't know I had time to read. I wanted it read.
This is March 2004.
You say you didn't sell this metal stem in the U.S.,
right?
A. Correct.
Q. But you sold one made of the same substance as a metal
stem with Pinnacle, right?
A. How do you mean?
Q. I mean it's a different shape. It's got some different

taper issues and things like that, but the metal is the same.
A. The raw material?
Q. Yes.
A. Yes. If the raw material was a cobalt chrome.
Q. Exactly.
Then the corrosion from this same material. Massive
metal ionosis caused necrosis, massive fluid collections under
pressure, caused pain, the pain was temporarily relieved when
they took the fluid. No obvious abnormalities on the x-rays.
However, it did lead to fractures and failure of the
mechanism. There was dead bone. These are all the things you
knew back on Johnson and Johnson's work on this?
A. That's correct.
MR. LANIER: Pass the witness.
MR. QUATTLEBAUM: One question.
THE COURT: I'm going to hold it to you. I've never
had a lawyer ask one question, not in 35 years.

A. I have three daughters.
Q. And why don't you explain to the court and the jury your
educational background, please.
A. My -- I graduated from Warsaw High School. I did my
undergraduate studies at Valparaiso University. I have a
bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Valparaiso
University, and then I did my graduate research -- my graduate
work was done at Leeds University in Leeds, England.
Q. Now, did you participate in the varsity football team
while you were at Valparaiso?
A. I did. I played all four years and was captain my last
two years.
Q. Very good.
Did you also work during the time you were getting your
undergraduate degree at Valparaiso?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. And where did you work?
A. I worked for DePuy.
Q. And what did you do for DePuy?
A. I was an engineering intern working in the product
development group.
Q. And for about what period of time did you work for DePuy

as an intern?
A. I started working for DePuy as an intern the summer of
1988, up until I graduated in December of 1991.
Q. And what types of projects did you work on as an intern?
A. I did a lot of product development projects looking at --
all of my time was in the hip development group, but I looked
at a lot of surgeon -- what we called surgeon-specific
instrument projects. I worked on some acetabular cup
projects, you know, in general worked on hip projects.
Q. Okay. What is an acetabular cup?
A. A acetabular cup is the socket part of the hip joint, the
ball and socket joint. An acetabular cup is the socket part
of that.
Q. Very good.
Now, after you graduated with your bachelor's degree in
mechanical engineering, who did you go to work for?
A. I -- I started full-time for DePuy in January of 1992.
Q. Why did you choose DePuy?
A. I had a very positive experience during my engineering
intern time. I liked the fact that I could as an engineer,
you know, work in a -- work in a trade like orthopedics where
you're helping people as an engineer.
Q. Now, how long did you work in Warsaw at DePuy the first
time you were employed there?
A. I started full-time in January of 1992, and I worked

there until August of 1993.
Q. And what was your official title?
A. Product development engineer.
Q. And what type of projects did you work during that time
frame?
A. I -- I picked up a lot of the projects on the acetabular
cup side of the business, the socket part of the hip. There
was a Duraloc project that I had been involved with. I worked
a lot of -- I spent a lot of time on that. I did spend a lot
of time in this one program we called surgeon service, which
was basically making instruments for surgeons for their
specific needs.
Q. Now, you mentioned the word Duraloc.
What is the Duraloc cup system?
A. The Duraloc cup system was a system that DePuy had
developed in the late '80s, early '90s time frame that was,
again, a metal shell. It had -- it's a polyethylene insert as
the bearing.
Q. And what was the material of the shell?
A. It was a titanium alloy.
Q. Now, at some point did you decide that you wanted to go
back to graduate school?
A. Yes.
Q. And what made you make that decision?
A. When I was -- when I was an engineering intern, I

realized that -- because Valparaiso was a relatively small
school, I didn't have -- really have access to do research,
and I -- and my big motivation professionally for wanting to
go and do graduate work was to be able to do research projects
and understand how research worked.
Q. And I think you mentioned this earlier, but where did you
go for your graduate work?
A. To the University of Leeds in Leeds, England, which is in
the north part of England.
Q. And what was the focus of your study?
A. The focus of my study was tribology.
Q. And what is tribology?
A. Tribology is defined as the -- it's the study of wear,
friction, and lubrication.
Q. And, now, this was a master's program; is that correct?
A. It was a master's of mechanical engineering, yes.
Q. And did it have two phases to it?
A. Yes, it did.
Q. What were those phases?
A. There was a lecture part of the course and then a
research component of the -- of the course.
Q. Okay. And did you have a supervisor or someone who
mentored you during the time that you were at Leeds
University?
A. I did.

Q. And who was that?
A. My academic supervisor was Professor John Fisher.
Q. And if you could explain to the court and jury who is
John Fisher?
A. When I -- John Fisher is the chair of the department at
the University of Leeds, and when I got -- the year I got
there he had just come in as the new chair of the
department.
Q. Now, did you have any unofficial mentors or supervisors
as well?
A. Yeah. I had -- I had an emeritus professor, which was
professor Duncan Dowson. As he had just left the chair
position and Professor Fisher had just come in, Professor
Dowson was also one of my supervisors for my graduate studies.
Q. What type of background did Dr. Dowson have?
A. Dr. -- Professor Dowson is pretty well-known within
the -- I'd say the engineering community as somebody who
really kind of fathered the -- the idea of tribology.
Q. And you said that Dr. Fisher was the -- for lack of
better words, the person who trained under Dr. Dowson and then
became head of the department; is that -- is that a fair
description?
A. Actually, Professor Fisher did a lot of his prior studies
at Strathclyde in Scotland and then was on faculty for several
years before Professor Dowson decided to retire.

did you also work?
A. I did.
Q. And where did you work?
A. I worked for DePuy International.
Q. And where is that?
A. That was based on in Leeds, England, as well.
Q. And what did you do for Depuy International?
A. I worked in the hip development group and specifically
worked on, again, some of the cup projects, some of the
acetabular cup projects. I also did some cemented stem
projects and did some general development work within the hip
development team.
Q. So approximately what year did you finish your master's
degree?
A. Actually, September of 1995 is when my master's degree
was completed.
Q. Okay. And what did you do for work at that point?
A. After I had finished my master's agree, I had stayed on
full-time. I had secured a work permit and stayed on
full-time at Depuy International.
Q. And how long did you remain at Depuy International?
A. For about -- almost another year.

States?
A. I moved back to the U.S. in July of 1996.
Q. And who did you work for at that point?
A. I came back and worked for DePuy Orthopaedics.
Q. And what was your role when you came back to DePuy
Orthopaedics in Warsaw, Indiana?
A. I came back as a product development engineer in the hip
group.
Q. And what product or projects did you begin working on at
that point?
A. I came back specifically and took over some acetabular
cup projects and some projects that were specifically looking
at alternative bearing technologies.
Q. And is there a name for that particular project that you
just mentioned about alternative bearings?
A. It -- we -- well, we called it -- there was AB project.
Sometimes it was referred to as Aunt Bea project, had many
different names.
Q. Now, was there someone who was running that project
before you returned to Warsaw?
A. There was.
Q. Who was that?

A. Frank Bono had the project before I came back.
Q. And do you know about how long the project had been going
prior to your arrival?
A. Actually, I think the project may have even started as I
was leaving for the -- for the U.K., so I would say it was
going for several years prior to I -- prior to me coming back
and picking it up.
Q. Now, prior to assuming your role as leader of the
alternate bearing project, did you have discussions with Frank
Bono?
A. I had discussions with Frank Bono. Once I knew I was
coming back to the U.S. and knew I would be picking up this
project, I had several conversations with Frank, yes.
Q. Did you discuss where he was in the project and his team
was on the project?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Did you have an opportunity to review any of the
materials that the alternate bearing project team had
formulated at that point?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. And did you have an opportunity to review any of the
literature that was in place at the time in 1996 when you
returned on alternate bearings?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Okay. And did you continue to review alternate bearing

literature even beyond 1996?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Now, there's a reference to something that's called the
future cup system, and I just want to make sure we understand
what that is at this point.
What was the future cup system as of 1996?
A. The future cup system was an idea that we could create
one acetabular shell, one socket, if you will, that would
allow multiple different bearings to be used by the surgeon
based on their -- their choices.
Q. So by the time you assumed the lead role for alternate
bearing and future cup, about how many years experience did
you have in acetabular cup system work?
A. Oh, I would say I probably had six, seven years'
experience.
Q. Now, ultimately did the alternate bearing project result
in a product that was implanted in a clinical trial and in
people?
A. Yes, it did.
Q. And what was that called?
A. That was a one-piece cup project.
Q. Now, we'll turn back to that in a few minutes. I'd like
to get some more information with regard to the alternate
bearing projects. So let's start there.
At the time that you came back to the United States, what

was your understanding as to why the company was doing an
alternate bearing project?
A. My understanding was that there was -- one of the big
clinical concerns at the time was something called osteolysis,
and typically -- well, it's polyethylene-induced osteolysis.
So the idea with trying to understand how alternative bearings
perform clinically was to -- was to look at a way to design a
system where you could eliminate polyethylene as a bearing
option.
Q. Now, what is polyethylene?
A. Polyethylene is basically plastic that's used in a -- in
a hip construct, hip joint.
Q. What is a bearing for purposes of a hip construct?
A. So if you think about the joint being a ball and socket,
there's a ball that goes on the -- you know, the -- your leg
part, the femur part, the socket is in your -- in your pelvis,
and the bearing is the part that kind of goes in between the
two. It's -- it's where the -- the head, the ball that's on
the -- the end of the stem rubs against.
Q. Now, where does the stem fit into this?
A. The stem goes inside the patient's femur, inside their --
their thigh bone.
Q. And where does the ball sit?
A. The ball sits on the end of the stem.
Q. Was dislocation also a challenge for surgeons at the time

you came back?
A. Absolutely. Dislocation still was and still continues to
be a -- a real clinical challenge for surgeons to overcome.
Q. And were surgeons seeking options other than
polyethylene?
A. They were, yes.
Q. Now, at the time you came back in 1996, was research
underway on something called cross-linked polyethylene?
A. Yes, there was.
Q. Now, was there any indication at the time you came back
that cross-linked polyethylene would be a complete resolution
of issues of dislocation osteolysis?
A. No. At the time I came back, cross-linked technology --
or cross-linked -- the technology to cross-link polyethylene
was for the most part still something being done in a
laboratory environment.
Q. Is cross-linked polyethylene's research still undergoing
research today?
A. Yes.
Q. Are companies, from your understanding, still trying to
find ways to make cross-linked polyethylenes?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, we've heard words in -- in this case such as
metal-on-metal. When we refer to metal-on-metal, what does
that refer to from your understanding?

A. It refers to the type of bearing, type of bearing between
the -- the -- the ball and socket.
Q. From your understanding, when were the first
metal-on-metal hip products introduced for clinical use?
A. I would estimate sometime in the -- probably the
mid-'60s.
Q. And did metal-on-metal products generally allow for the
use of larger heads than polyethylene?
A. Yes.
Q. And why is that?
A. Because the idea of how the two surfaces interact
together, it allows you to use bigger diameters, bigger sizes.
And you don't -- also, you don't have this piece of plastic in
between the two that you have to worry about how thick it is.
Q. Now, is -- is a larger head generally beneficial?
A. A larger -- a larger size femoral head offers you better
joint stability.
Q. And what does that mean, sir?
A. It means that when you go about your normal daily
routine, your hip -- the ball stays in the socket and
doesn't -- doesn't come out.
Q. Now, did metal-on-metal technology allow for bigger heads
whereas bigger heads with polyethylene would be a problem?
A. Yes at the time one of the -- again, one of the
challenges with polyethylene-induced osteolysis was that if

you went to a larger diameter -- a larger size head, your
poly -- and based on the size of the socket for that patient,
oftentimes you would get relatively thin polyethylenes, and at
the time, you know, one of the real clinical concerns were
wear of polyethylene liners, fracture of polyethylene liners.
So how thin you could go was a real -- was a real challenge.
Q. Now, did larger heads with polyethylene have the opposite
effect of larger heads with metal?
A. From a wear standpoint, yes.
Q. Now, you mentioned osteolysis a couple of times. Please
explain what osteolysis is.
A. Osteolysis is effectively a -- the body's response to
dealing with, you know, debris or -- or foreign bodies inside
the body.
So, for instance, if I had a polyethylene has a bearing
and -- and I generated polyethylene wear or wear debris as I
walked in the course of my daily routine, those wear
particles -- the body would see those and they would try to
deal with those and basically get them outside of the body,
and it's -- so it's a biological response to debris.
Q. Particularly polyethylene debris?
A. Yes.
Q. Now, did some of the earlier generations of
metal-on-metal products have some manufacturing challenges?
A. Yes, they did.

Q. And did they have some tolerancing challenges?
A. Yes, they did.
Q. Now, what is tolerancing?
A. Tolerancing is basically how you size the two components.
So, for instance, you would tolerance the head compared to the
cup to make sure that the head wasn't bigger than the cup so
they always fit together.
Q. Now, from your understanding, did any of the challenges
that faced the earlier generation metal-on-metal products
relate to the bearing surface themselves?
A. I would say most of the challenges related to the
tolerancing, the sizing, and not necessarily the -- the
bearing surface, so to speak.
Q. From your understanding -- when I say first generation,
I'm talking from the 1960's through roughly the 1980s. Do you
know what the bearing surfaces of those metal-on-metal
products were primarily made of?
A. They were typically made of cobalt chrome.
Q. And has cobalt chrome been used in other orthopedic
applications, from your understanding --
A. Yes.
Q. -- beyond bearings?
A. Yes.
Q. About how long?
A. I would estimate probably from the mid -- mid-'60s time

frame.
Q. Now, did some of the earlier generation metal-on-metal
products have good clinical success from your viewpoint?
A. Yeah. There were -- there were designs out there that
I've -- I've seen -- I've seen literature that's followed
long-term survivorship, 30-year survivorship. I've actually
been in cases where I've seen some of those 30-plus year hips
revised for -- for different reasons. So that they've --
they've performed well in some cases, yes.
Q. Which particular products are you -- are you thinking of
when you think of those that did well clinically?
A. I think McKee-Farrar is probably the one that comes to
mind most as a -- as a -- as one of the systems that had wider
use and did well.
There were others. There was one called Ring prosthesis.
There was one called Sivash.
It all had different ranges of, you know, survivorship.
Q. Now, let's turn back to when you assumed the role of
leadership for the alternate bearing project. You mentioned
that you reviewed some -- or spoke with Mr. Bono. We talked a
little bit about literature. Did you review any literature
specifically in 1996 when you returned on metal-on-metal?
A. There were some very specific references that I looked
at, yes.
Q. And what did you look at?

A. The one that I referred to quite often as kind of a -- a
very complete, inclusive reference at the time was a
supplement in the Clinical Orthopaedics Related Research
Journal.
Q. And what did it relate to?
A. It was a -- it was basically a -- a summary of a
metal-on-metal symposium that had taken place the prior
year.
Q. And did it address -- what kind of topics did it address?
A. It addressed everything from the design parameters to
biological response of -- of these bearing surfaces through
clinical results.
Q. And did those materials indicate any heightened risk for
use of metal-on-metal over the risks that were -- the industry
was facing with polyethylene at the time?
A. No, I don't think so. I think there were papers in there
that talked about in some instances a theoretical of the use
of those materials.
Q. Was there any indication of significant problems in early
generation metal-on-metal in that particular periodical or
group of articles relating to specific tissue reactions?
A. No, not that I recall.
Q. In addition to literature, did you attend any symposium
or symposia, I should say, during the period in which you were
on the alternate bearing project?

A. I would attend specific sessions at the -- at the
American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons meeting, the annual
meeting in the United States.
I would attend Hip Society meetings, which was a
specialty group for hip surgeons to attend.
I would go to specific either metal-on-metal or
ceramic-on-ceramic symposiums that were being held.
Sometimes I would often go to ASTM meetings looking at
standards around, you know, this area as well.
Q. Okay. And what does ASTM stand for, roughly?
A. I believe it's the American Society for Testing of
Materials.
Q. About how often did you attend a meeting or a symposium
during the time you were running the alternate bearing
project?
A. I would say probably about once every three months.
Q. Now, let's talk a little bit about the alternate bearing
project team. Did that team have representatives from DePuy's
research department?
A. Yes.
Q. Did it have representatives from tribology?
A. Yes.
Q. Did it have representatives from -- from the clinical?

Yeah, clinical -- we had clinic representatives,
regulatory representatives, production, you know,
manufacturing representatives. Research, I think we talked
about.
Q. Did you also have meetings with outside personnel such as
surgeons?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. And did you have meetings with the following group of
people: Dr. Andy Engh, Dr. John Fenning, Dr. Brian Haas,
Dr. Paul Peters and Dr. Tom Schmalzried?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. And who were they?
A. At the time they were developing surgeons for this
project.
Q. I'm not sure we've defined this yet. I want to make sure
we have this.

The word "articulation," what does that mean?
A. Articulation basically means when two surfaces move
against each other.
Q. Okay. Now, what does the term "clearance" mean with
respect to a total hip replacement?
A. Clearance would be the definition of the -- the space
between the -- the head and the cup, the head and the liner.
Q. How about the term "surface finish," what does that mean?
A. Surface finish would be the measure of the surface
roughness.
Q. What about radius? What does that refer to with respect
to the socket side of a total hip replacement?
A. Radius?
Q. Radius.
A. It would be the -- the dimension we would call out to
measure or design the specific size.
Q. Now, with respect to a femoral head, we've -- you
mentioned that earlier. What would be the radius of a femoral
head?
So if it was a 28-millimeter head, what would be the
radius?
A. It would be half of that. It would be a 14-millimeter
radius.
Q. And if it were a diameter, what would that be?
A. Well, for 28 would be -- we would -- we'd refer to the

size in the diameters. So a 28-millimeter head would be a
28-millimeter diameter.
Q. Now, there's reference to hardness. Why would you look
at hardness?
A. We would look at hardness as a parameter that we could
control that might yield different results based on how these
metal-on-metal devices performed in a wear environment.
Q. Now, these different definitions we just talked about,
clearance, surface finish, radius and diameter, hardness, were
each of those parameters in what became the one-piece cup?
A. Yes, they were.
Q. And did you continue to study those parameters throughout
the course of the alternate bearing project until that product
was complete?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Did someone from the alternate bearing project also
continue to investigate ways to manufacture the heads and the
one-piece cup?
A. Yes, they did.
Q. And were different processes for finishing these
materials also analyzed throughout the course of the project?
A. Yes, they were.
Q. And by finishing, what does that mean in this context?
A. Finishing would be the -- the -- kind of the final
machining process. It would be the way that you would lap or

polish the femoral head or the metal insert.
Q. And was the goal to make the insert in the head as smooth
as possible?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. And do you feel like for purposes of the one-piece cup
you accomplished that?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Now, at some point did a research fellow from the
University of Leeds join the alternate bearing project?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. And who was that?
A. Andrew Goldsmith.
Q. Okay. And who was Andrew Goldsmith?
A. He was a research fellow who was working on his Ph.D.
through the University of Leeds.
Q. And what was his role in the team?
A. He -- at our international headquarters in Leeds,
England, at Depuy International, he was responsible for the --
the wear testing and the tribology group we were -- we were
working on this project with.
Q. Now, what is pretest form metrology?
What does that mean?
A. Pretest form metrology would refer to making all the
measurements; size, surface roughness, you know, roundness,
things like that, that the parts were before we started

testing them against each other.
Q. Now, what is a Sulzer Metasul?
A. A Sulzer Metasul was a product that was available for
clinical use in Europe at the time. A metal-on-metal
component.
Q. And at some point during the course of the alternate
bearing project were you able to do some hip simulator testing
utilizing the one-piece and Sulzer Metasul products?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. And can you explain just generally what hip simulator
testing is?
A. Hip simulator testing is a -- is a -- a test station
where you can put the socket part of the hip joint and the --
the ball part of the hip joint together and run it through
a -- basically a -- a walking cycle, if you will.
Q. Now, it appears that you tested the one-piece and the
Sulzer Metasul in a hip simulator in the Leeds facility; is
that right?
A. Correct.
Q. Okay. And it looks like it ran somewhere in the
neighborhood between three and five million cycles, depending
on the number of -- of components. Does that sound about
right?
A. Yes, that sounds about right.
Q. Do you know generally what the results were of the

comparison of wear between the one-piece in the simulator and
the Metasul?
A. My recollection is that the -- that -- in that specific
test that our one-piece design was actually generating less
wear and were performing better from a wear standpoint than
what the Sulzer component was.
Q. And was the Sulzer product already on the market?
A. It was on the market in Europe, yes.
Q. And do you know roughly how long it had been on the
market?
A. Well, I think it had been on the market for many years,
because metal-on-metal had continued to be in use in Europe
for many, many years.
Q. Now, did you run additional wear testing on the one-piece
design beyond just the one wear test?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you test various clearances of that design?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. And, again, what is clearance?
A. It's the -- it's the difference between the size of the
head and the size of the cup.
Q. Now, what were your impressions of the simulator testing
that was performed on the one-piece?
A. Well, we did -- we had several different simulators we
were running testing on. We had done -- we had looked at

different -- kind of several different inputs or changes, you
know, different parameters, clearance, roughness, and then run
millions of cycles to try to understand how these devices
would -- would -- would wear.
Q. Now, explain to the court and to the jury, when you say
you run millions of cycles, what does that mean in -- in daily
life?
What does that equate to?
A. I mean, in -- in general terms, it equates to walking.
So it's typically -- these simulators you had the ability to
program in what we -- what we call a gait cycle or a walking
cycle, and it was -- you know, the conventional thinking was
that roughly a million cycles might represent about a year's
worth of service for that hip joint.
Q. So if you tested for over ten million cycles, we're
talking approximately ten years of the evaluation?
A. Yeah. That's -- that's -- I said that's the conventional
thinking, is, you know, roughly that would be about ten
million years or -- I'm sorry, ten years of use.
Q. Well, it would be -- it would be more than one year,
certainly?
A. Sure.
Q. Now, during the course of the alternate bearing project
did you also work some -- with some outside experts other than
surgeons?

Q. Did you work with Anthony Unsworth from the University of
Durham in the United Kingdom?
A. We did, yes.
Q. Who is Dr. Unsworth?
A. Dr. Unsworth was somebody who was responsible for
Durham's testing lab. Specifically, they did a lot of work
looking at friction.
Q. And did he or his lab do some friction analysis for the
alternate bearing project?
A. Yes, they did.
Q. Did you also work with Dr. Pat Campbell?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. What did Dr. Campbell do?
A. She worked with us to look at the fluids that would be
removed from the wear simulators to see if we could do debris
analysis of the -- of the wear particles.

Q. And what type of work did you do with Dr. Collier?
A. With Dr. Collier we looked at his retrieval database to
understand how the -- the bone responded to, you know,
titanium or cobalt chrome as it related to the cup part.
Q. Now, did you also enroll the one-piece cup into what is
called an IDE?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. What is an IDE?
A. An IDE stands for an investigational device exemption.
It's a -- a regulated clinical study that you work with the
FDA to get approval to be able to start using.
Q. And -- and did you meet with the FDA on occasion in
preparation for the clinical trial for the one-piece cup?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. And did the FDA approve the clinical trial or the
clinical study?
A. They did approve the IDE, yes.
Q. Now, do you know roughly how many patients were enrolled

in that clinical study?
A. I think we enrolled over -- just over a hundred.
Q. Now, did any of the design surgeons also order any of the
one-piece cups to implant on a custom basis?
A. Yes, they did.
Q. And do you know roughly how many of those were
implanted?
A. I think it was some place close to a hundred as well.
Q. Let's talk about the future cup system for a minute. We
mentioned that a little bit earlier.
What was -- you mentioned briefly the concept. Explain
again what the concept was behind the future cup system.
A. So the idea was having a metal shell, or the socket part
of the hip, that you could put in different types of bearings,
whether it be polyethylene, ceramic, or metal. So you could
use -- one -- one shell system would give surgeons the ability
to choose what they wanted their bearing material to be.
Q. During the course of the future cup system, approximately
what duration, what time frame are we talking about for future
cup?
A. Oh, I would -- I would say that the future cup, in my
mind, kind of started when I moved back from the U.K. So we
really kind of started that project in earnest in the -- in
the 1996 time frame.
Q. Did you work with any outside experts on that particular

project?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Did you work with Jeremy Gilbert?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Who is Jeremy Gilbert?
A. Jeremy Gilbert when we worked with him was an academic
researcher at Northwestern University in Chicago.
Q. And what -- what area was his specialty?
A. His -- his specialty of research was in corrosion.
Q. And what did Dr. Gilbert do for you in the future cup
system?
A. Dr. Gilbert looked at several different studies of how a
metal insert might interact with a metal shell and looked at
different parameters of corrosion to make sure that the
combination of the two materials together was going to be
fine.
Q. And which two materials are you referring to?
A. The socket side being the titanium material and the --
the insert, bearing side, being cobalt chrome.
Q. Now, at some point during the course of 1998 did
Johnson & Johnson through some acquisition acquire DePuy
Orthopaedics?
A. Yes, it did.
Q. As a result of that acquisition what happened to the
future cup system?

A. The -- well, the future cup system, at the time of the
acquisition, we had -- there were some patent challenges with
a feature which was referred to as the self-locking taper
which Johnson & Johnson owned the patents to. So once DePuy
became acquired by Johnson & Johnson that project then had
access to those patents.
Q. And you mentioned a taper. What do you mean by a taper?
A. A taper basically being a conical section within the cup
that would allow the two components to lock together.
Q. And by conical section, what does that mean?
A. Meaning, you know, like part of a -- part of a cone.
Q. And as a result of that acquisition, were you able to
obtain additional research regarding other metal-on-metal
products?
A. Yes. Johnson & Johnson Orthopedics had a project called
Ultima.
Q. What is the Ultima cup system?
A. The Ultima cup system was a titanium acetabular shell,
titanium cup, that had a cobalt chrome bearing insert.
Q. And what was the diameter of the head used and the inside
diameter of the liner used in the Ultima cup system?
A. The Ultima metal-on-metal combination was a 28-millimeter
diameter.
Q. And, again, the one-piece diameter was what dimension?
A. 36-millimeters.

Q. Now, was the Ultima cup system enrolled in a clinical
study as well?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. So by the time -- well, strike that.
So when -- when did the future cup system essentially end
and the Pinnacle acetabular cup system begin?
A. I would say that probably sometime in the middle of 1999.
Q. By the middle of 1999 had you completed research and
testing on the alternate bearing project and the one-piece
cup?
A. We had, yes.
Q. At that time did you obtain the research and testing that
had been already accomplished on the Ultima cup system?
A. Yes.
Q. And the Ultima cup system, was that already in a clinical
study?
A. In the U.S., yes.
Q. And was the one-piece cup about to begin a clinical study
at that point?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. Now, what was your role on the Pinnacle acetabular cup
system project?
A. I was the project leader.
Q. Okay. And let's take a step back.
What is the Pinnacle acetabular cup system?

A. The Pinnacle acetabular cup system basically became what
we had called previously the future cup system. So the idea
that you could have one metal shell that could incorporate
either polyethylene or plastic, metal or ceramic inserts for
bearings.
Q. Is the cup in front of you an example of one of the cup
options for the Pinnacle acetabular cup system?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. Do you mind showing it to the jury?
A. Sure.
Q. There's a white object. Could you explain what that is?
A. Yeah. This is the polyethylene component that would fit
inside the shell like that (indicating). This is the metal
shell that I referred to that's titanium.
And then this is the femoral head, or the ball part that
would actually go inside the -- the liner.
Q. And what is the other metal piece that you have in front
of you?
A. The -- if a surgeon decided not to use the polyethylene,
this is a metal insert that they could use that would go
inside the shell like that and lock in, and then the metal
head would go inside that bearing.
Q. Now, let's talk about the Pinnacle acetabular cup system
team.
You said you were the project leader; is that correct?

A. Yes, we did.
Q. Did you have representatives from clinical?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Did you have representatives from regulatory?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you have representatives from tribology?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you have representatives from quality engineering?
A. Yes.
Q. What is quality engineering?
A. Quality engineering is -- it's the discipline of making
sure that we can -- we can check and control the parts we're
going to make so that we as development engineers can design
something.
They're basically the interface between development
engineering and manufacturing engineering to help us check
what we make.
Q. Did you have representatives from manufacturing
engineering?
A. Yes.

Q. Did you have any other areas of specialty that I have not
mentioned?
A. No, that was pretty -- pretty extensive.
Q. Now, did the Pinnacle acetabular cup system offer
multiple cup options?
A. Yes. The -- the cup system had many different types of
shells.
Q. And did it offer different bearing options?
A. Yes.
Q. And what were those options?
A. Polyethylene, or the plastic component, metal, and a
ceramic component.
Q. And what, again, was material for the acetabular cup?
A. The shell part was made from titanium.
Q. And why was that material selected?
A. That material was selected because as we went back and
looked at the retrieval analysis we had done with Dr. Collier,
we felt that that gave the -- the best interface for
biological ingrowth or for the bone to actually grow into this
part of the shell.
Q. And what was the metal selected for the metal insert?
A. Cobalt chrome.
Q. Is that the same cobalt chrome that you mentioned earlier
that had been in place for many years?
A. Yes.

Q. Did you perform any what's sometimes referred to as
mechanical testing on the -- on the cup system?
A. We did.
Q. Did you do push-in and push-out testing?
A. Yes.
Q. What did that involve?
A. Push-in and push-out testing would have been inserting
this piece of plastic liner into the shell and then pushing it
out through a hole in the back to see how much force it took
to actually push the liner out.
Q. Did you conduct lever-out testing?
A. We did.
Q. What is that?
A. Lever-out testing would have been pushing the liner into
the shell and then trying to put an object in here to try to
lever or cant -- you know, kind of tip the liner out of the
shell.
Q. Did you conduct fatigue testing?
A. We did.
Q. What is fatigue testing?
A. Fatigue testing would have been again inserting the liner
into the shell and just loading it under a -- under kind of a
rapid -- rapid cycle load to see if it was going to break over
time.
Q. Did you also evaluate the hardness of the materials

throughout the course of the project?
A. We did.
Q. Did you evaluate surface roughness of each of the
materials -- excuse me -- each of the components over the
course of the project?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. What is finite element analysis?
A. Finite element analysis is basically a software program
that allows -- allows you to model stresses and strains that
components or products see.
Q. Did you have any finite element analyses performed on the
Pinnacle acetabular cup system during its development?
A. We did.
Q. For what reason?
A. We -- we wanted to look at how the interface between
the -- the polyethylene insert and the metal shell was going
to perform under -- We wanted to look at the stress and the
interface in those two components.
Q. Now, did you do any consulting with any outside experts
during the course of the Pinnacle acetabular cup system
development?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you work again with Dr. Jeremy Gilbert?
A. We did.
Q. And what did Dr. Gilbert do?

A. He did some similar further testing of what we had done
with the future cup system and more or less kind of ran the
similar protocols to what we considered to be our final
design, looking at corrosion.
Q. And was a micromotion program undertaken?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. Let me restate that.
Was any micromotion testing performed?
A. Yes.
Q. And who was that performed by?
A. Dr. Allen Litsky at Ohio State University in Columbus,
Ohio.
Q. Now, what is micromotion?
A. For the purposes of our testing, micromotion referred to
if you put this polyethylene, this plastic insert, into the
shell, and if you loaded it, would it -- would it move --
would there -- would there be motion between the shell --
between the polyethylene insert and the shell, did it move on
some microscopic level.
Q. Okay. And again, where was that performed?
A. At Ohio State University.
Q. By who?
A. Allen Litsky.
Q. And what generally were the results from your
understanding?

micromotion, no motion between the polyethylene insert and
the -- the metal shell.
Q. Now, did the Pinnacle acetabular cup system, in
particular the metal-on-metal components, undergo hip
simulator testing as well?
A. Yes.
Q. And were both the 28-millimeter and the 36-millimeter
tested in hip simulators?
A. Yes.
Q. And were they tested against any other product?
A. I mean, comparative-wise, yes, they were tested against
different products, yes.
Q. Which products were they tested against?
A. We ran some testing against Ultima.
Q. Now, was simulator testing undertaken at -- at the Leeds
facility?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. And do you know roughly how many millions of cycles were
run?
A. About -- tens of millions of cycles over the period of
the testing that we had done.
Q. Was testing performed at any other locations other than
at the Leeds -- at the Leeds facility?
A. Yes. We did -- So within the DePuy facilities -- We did

testing at Depuy International in Leeds, and we did testing in
the research facility in Warsaw, Indiana.
Outside of that, there was some testing that was done at
the University of Leeds as well.
Q. Was any testing performed at the University of Waterloo?
A. Yes, there was.
Q. And where is the University of Waterloo?
A. It's in Canada. Ontario, Canada.
Q. Were different clearances tested in the simulator?
A. Yes.
Q. Were stopping and starting the simulator -- also known as
start-stop-dwell, I believe it's called -- was that done?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. Was the system tested for many years after it was
initially launched?
A. Yes. I -- I stopped working with the -- with the project
sometime in the middle of 2002, and I know there was testing
that was conducted well beyond that.
Q. Now, I know you're not -- weren't in the regulatory area,
but do you have an understanding as to whether the Pinnacle
acetabular cup system, in particular the metal-on-metal
components, received FDA clearance?
A. Yes, they did.
Q. Okay. And do you know when they received FDA clearance?
A. I believe it was in the late 2000 time frame.

Q. And were separate regulatory clearances achieved for the
28- and 36-millimeter metal-on-metal components?
A. Yes, they were separate.
Q. Now, they were cleared at the end of 2000, I believe was
your testimony. Were any sold immediately upon clearance by
the FDA?
A. No.
Q. Was there any restriction by the FDA saying that you
couldn't sell them immediately?
A. No.
Q. Why did you continue to investigate and test them at that
point?
A. Well, we -- we would have had a series of tests or
studies we wanted to do to -- to make sure we were confident
that the product was ready for -- for clinical use. So even
though we would have had regulatory approval, we wouldn't
have -- we wouldn't have allowed them to be used clinically
until unless we were satisfied we had those tests in place.
Q. Do you know the word "Ultamet"?
A. Yes.
Q. What is Ultamet?
A. Ultamet refers to the metal insert for the Pinnacle
acetabular cup system.
Q. When the Pinnacle acetabular cup system refers to a
metal-on-metal, what does that involve?

Q. Now, do you know when the first Ultamet -- Pinnacle
Ultamet metal-on-metal was implanted?
A. I believe it was in the late spring of 2001.
Q. Now, do you know when overall global sales of Ultamet
began?
A. I don't believe we sold any or commercially made it --
made it available until the summer of 2002.
Q. So implantations -- strike that.
Were -- were your design surgeons implanting the Ultamet
during the time frame between April 2001 and commercialization
in July 2002?
A. Yes, our design surgeons would be able to use it.
Q. So in addition to the clinical study that you had on
one-piece, the clinical study you had on the Ultima cup
system, did you also have over a year of clinical experience
with the Ultamet before commercialization in July 2002?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Sir, are you proud of the team that you assembled for the
Pinnacle acetabular cup system?
A. Yes, I am.
Q. Are you proud of the work that you performed and that
your team performed on the Pinnacle acetabular cup system?
A. Yes, I am.

Q. Okay. What did you do after you stopped working on the
Pinnacle acetabular cup system, generally?
A. I moved into a different product development group. I
wasn't focused on hips anymore.
Q. Now, you mentioned that -- earlier that you left DePuy in
2007 and went to work for Biomet; is that correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Okay. Why did you -- why did you leave DePuy?
A. I just had a different opportunity at a -- at a different
orthopedic company.
Q. Mr. Lancaster, you were asked some questions earlier in
your testimony by Mr. Lanier regarding a document that he
ended up marking as Exhibit Number 22. Let me zoom out on
this for you.

you a copy, sir. This will be 23. A document of Mr. Lanier's
notes.
You can see here as we focus in there's reference to
historical pre-1995 metal-on-metal that had low or normal
failure rate.
Was Sulzer Metasul the only metal-on-metal that would fit
that category?
A. No.
Q. What else would fit?
A. I would say that the McKee-Farrar would fit in that

Q. Okay. Let's take a look at page 2, if you will.
You see the question right underneath "Jim Lancaster"?
A. Yes.
Q. Can you read that for me?
A. "Did the company ignore patient safety in trying to get
to market quickly?"
Q. And were you asked that question prior in your testimony?
A. Yes.
Q. And did you give an answer?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you recall what that answer was?
A. I believe my answer was absolutely not.
Q. Now, if we turn to the -- the left side of Exhibit 23,
there's a reference to "Trying to develop products as timely
as we could."
Does that reflect your testimony?
A. Yes.
Q. There's a quote, "Beat competition to punch."
Is that testimony you gave?
A. No.
Q. Are those your words?
A. No.

Q. I'm sorry, let me zoom back out so the jury can see here.
Finally, it says, "Maintain competitive advantage."
Was that your testimony?
A. No.
Q. Those were not your words?
A. No, they were not.
Q. Was that the reason you conducted the alternate bearing
project?
A. No.
Q. For the jury I will use JL to represent Jim Lancaster.
Now let's turn to "beat the competition to the punch."
We know those weren't your words.
Did DePuy, in fact, beat the competition to putting a
metal-on-metal product on the market?
A. No, they did not.
Q. What companies had metal-on-metal products on the market
before DePuy?

A. Biomet did. Johnson & Johnson prior to the DePuy
acquisition. There were other products outside the U.S. as
well.
Q. Was Sulzer Metasul one of them?
A. Yes.
Q. So, in fact, DePuy did not beat the competition to the
punch, did it?
A. No.
Q. Now, how long in total from the beginning of the
alternate bearing project until the Pinnacle Ultamet was
commercially launched, how long was that period?
A. I would estimate probably about seven years.
Q. Seven years from ABP to Ultamet.
Would you consider that a rush to market, si
A. No, I would not.
Q. Now, let's look on the right side of this document. Do
you see reference to "Nobody on internal team with specialty
or expertise in biology toxicology"?
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. There's reference to orthopedic surgeons Pat Campbell and
Jeremy Gilbert. Was that your testimony?
A. Yes.
Q. There's reference to a Dr. Peters. I mentioned him
earlier.

Who was Dr. Peters?
A. He was one of the early developing surgeons for the
one-piece metal-on-metal project.
Q. Now, Exhibit 5, which I will hand you, which was marked
previously in your deposition, made reference to Dr. Peters in
the middle of the second page, which I will show to the jury
here. This is Exhibit 5.
Do you see the reference to Dr. Peters in the middle?
A. Yes.
Q. Can you read what it says, please?
A. "Spent time in England with Watson Farrar. Fractured
cement and cup loosening were modes of failure. Toxicity/ion
release a fact of metals. Saw no lymphatic tumors with
Farrar, but these issues must be -- must be addressed, et
cetera . . ."
Q. Now, Dr. Peters saw no lymphatic tumors relating to what?
What do you understand Farrar to mean?
A. What I understand that to mean is he saw no lymphatic
tumors relating to the Farrar device, the McKee-Farrar
device.
Q. Now, there were some questions raised earlier in your
testimony about the concept of toxicity.
Now, can you say truthfully and accurately that anything
is toxic without knowing more about what the substance is and
the amount of the substance -- of the substance?

A. No, I don't think you can.
Q. And please explain that.
A. Well, I think it would depend upon what the host body is.
It would depend upon that individual's threshold for toxicity.
It could depend upon the size of the debris, or particles, or
whatever the material is that's being put into the -- into the
biological system.
Q. From your understanding is cobalt chromium in and of
itself toxic?
A. No, it's not.
Q. Sir, can salt be toxic in enough of a volume?
A. Yes, I believe it can.
Q. Can water kill you if you drink too much of it?
A. Yes, I believe it can.
Q. Do you consider salt or water to be toxic?
A. I do not.
Q. Now, there was some reference earlier in your testimony
that toxicity automatically meant something was poisonous. Do
you agree with that?
A. Not necessarily, no.
Q. Would that also require an explanation of what the
substance was, the amount of the substance, and its use?
A. Yes.
Q. So would you equate automatically the concept of toxicity
with the concept of poison?

Q. Now, Dr. Peters references on this page -- you were
working with Dr. Peters on these very issues, were you not?
A. Yes, on this project, yes.
Q. Now, there's a reference to "eliminate debris."
Do you see that?
Up here on Exhibit 23. I'm sorry.
A. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Yes.
Q. That's fine.
Now, can any total hip replacement have no debris at all?
A. No, it cannot.
Q. And what was the goal, knowing that to be true, of the
Pinnacle acetabular cup system?
A. To optimize the design as much as possible to minimize or
reduce any potential for debris.
Q. And do you believe that the design of the Pinnacle
acetabular cup system, in fact, optimized -- was optimized
such that it minimized debris as much as possible?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. Now, in addition to Dr. Peters and Dr. Andy Engh, who I
believe made reference on Exhibit 5 to the concept of trying
to eliminate debris as much as possible, you were working with
Dr. Schmalzried as well; is that correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Now, is Dr. Schmalzried the same Dr. Schmalzried listed

as an author on this particular paper titled Biological Issues
on Metal-on-metal Total Hip Arthroplasty?
Do you see his name in the upper right corner?
A. Yes.
Q. That's the same Tom Schmalzried who was working with you
on the Pinnacle project and alternate bearing project?
A. Yes.
Q. Was Dr. Schmalzried also the very same surgeon who was
working and wrote this document, "The Risk of Cancer Following
Total Hip or Knee Arthroplasty?"
A. Yes.
Q. Could you see the date of this particular paper?
A. It looks like it's May of 2001.
Q. And was that during the Pinnacle project?
A. Yes.
Q. And do you see what I'm highlighting, this language here,
what the conclusions were from Dr. Schmalzried's work?
A. Yes.
Q. What does it read?
A. "In summary, all available data do not support a causal
link between total hip or knee arthroplasty and the
development of cancer."
Q. And for the record I'm going to go ahead and mark these
as Exhibits 24 and 25.
So turning back to Exhibit 23 for a moment, do you think

it was appropriate to rely on folks such as Jeremy Gilbert,
Pat Campbell, and orthopedic surgeons when analyzing issues
such as biology and toxicology?
A. Yes.
Q. And why is that?
A. Because they're -- they're either medical doctors,
orthopedic surgeons or medical doctors who had specialty
training in those areas, or specialty academic researchers who
have a focused area of concentration.
Q. Now, Mr. Lanier in his questioning and during the course
of writing his notes on what was Exhibit 22, which we have now
marked Exhibit 23, seemed to suggest that if the word
"toxicology" did not appear in a meeting minute that the
Pinnacle acetabular cup team and the alternate bearing team
did not even consider patient safety or clinical issues. Is
that fair?
A. No.
Q. In fact, throughout the course of the alternate bearing
project and the Pinnacle acetabular cup system project was
clinical -- were clinical issues considered?
A. Yes.
Q. Were they considered throughout the entire process?
A. Absolutely, yes.
Q. And, again, during the course of this time frame that was
selected, August '96 through July of '97, did you have

meetings with designing surgeons during the alternate bearing
project?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. I'm going to mark what's -- Exhibit 26 and hand it to
you.
If you could take a minute to look at Exhibit 26, which I
am putting up on the camera.
Mr. Lancaster, do you see the highlighted text
referencing Phase III?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. And what does "Phase III: Clinical Trial" mean?
A. I would -- I would understand that to mean that we would
be going through a clinical trial as part of the evaluation
and -- and development of the overall system.
Q. This is dated October of 1996. It pretty quickly after
you returned from England, was it not?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. It appears to be the first meeting you had with design
surgeons on the alternate bearing project. Would that be
right?
A. I believe so, yes.
Q. And in that first meeting with designing surgeons you're
already referring to a clinical trial as part of the process;
is that correct?
A. That's correct.

Q. And you're talking about the IDE preparation. Again,
that would be preparation of the clinical trial itself?
A. Yes, for submission to the FDA.
Q. And one phase of the entire project was dedicated to a
clinical trial. Is that correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Now, what is a clinical trial?
A. A clinical trial is a clinical study. It's -- it's when
we would actually work with orthopedic surgeons to have very
controlled and specific factors or parameters so we could put
the -- we could have the device implanted and then study it
and follow it for some period of time.
Q. Let me ask it a different way.
This was the first meeting of the alternate bearing
project in which you met with surgeons, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And this was one of the topics you discussed at that very
first meeting?
A. Yes.
Q. Is it one of the topics you addressed at one of the very
first meeting?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you continue to address these issues throughout the
course of the project?
A. Yes, we did.

Q. Now, in addition to the first meeting, did you have
meetings with surgeons who were implanting the one-piece cup
during the course of the clinical study?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Now, let's take a look at what has been previously marked
as Exhibit Number 16. I'll just put that up on the ELMO, if
you don't mind.
And as a refresher, what is Exhibit 16?
A. It looks like meeting minutes from a one-piece
metal-on-metal IDE clinical investigators. So the clinical
investigators that were part of the study had a meeting.
Q. Okay. And I think it would be easier if you take that,
and I'll put my copy up.
You see the highlighted language in that first paragraph?
A. Yes.
Q. What does that read?
A. "Dr. Haas made a few opening remarks and concluded that
the early results for his IDE study cases looked very good,
but that longer follow-up is required before any conclusions
could be made. Dr. Engh concurred with Dr. Haas' comments
with respect to his study cases."
Q. Let me ask it a different way, sir.
What did you understand those remarks to relate to?
A. I understood those remarks to relate to their study cases
that they had enrolled for this device.

A. The one-piece metal-on-metal, yes.
Q. Now, regardless if the word "toxicity" appeared in a
internal meeting, during the course of the alternate bearing
project, did you, in fact, discuss clinical and biological
issues?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Sir, I'm going to hand you what was previously marked as
Exhibit 7 to your deposition.
The jury can see Exhibit 7. Take a moment to read that
if you will, please.
A. Okay.
Q. Do you see the highlighting down here development JL?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you know what it refers to?
A. It refers to the function of product development and to
myself as the responsible or point person.
Q. Now, could you read the first couple of sentences of the
opening paragraph for this, please?
A. "Thanks go out to everyone for the information which was
presented at this week's PCT meeting. It appears as though we
have all had a better appreciation as to what activities need
to take place to allow our objectives to be met."
Q. Now, if we turn to page 2, under "Long-Term," I have
highlighted some language right here. What does that refer

to?
A. "Support IDE/clinical trial." That would refer to
product development as a function having the responsibility to
support those activities as a longer term part of the project.
Q. What is the reference to clinical, CH? What does that
mean?
A. It refers to the clinical function. And CH would refer
to Cheryl Hastings.
Q. And did Cheryl Hastings in the clinical role have an
ongoing role in the meetings of the alternate bearing project?
A. Yes, she did.
Q. So notwithstanding the fact that September 9 was written
here by Mr. Lanier, there was a discussion -- was there a
discussion of clinical issues?
A. At this meeting, yes.
Q. So, in fact, something relating to biology or toxicity
was discussed during the September 6th meeting?
A. Yes.
Q. Let me ask it a different way.
Was something related to biology/toxicology discussed at
this meeting?
A. Yes.
Q. I hand you what has been marked as Exhibit 8, previously
marked.
Meeting minutes dated September 10. Do you see that?

activities discussed at that core team meeting associated with
the clinical function.
Q. And so this would relate to the September meeting
referenced in Mr. Lanier's notes. Clinical was again
discussed?
A. Correct.
Q. I'll hand you what was previous marked as Exhibit Number
10, which I will put up for the jury.
Do you see the highlighted language I have on this
document?
A. Yes.
Q. What does phase two read?
A. "Phase two defines the actions associated with the IDE
preparation, submission and approval process.
Q. And what does Phase III relate to?
A. Phase III will include activities related to the
production of clinical product and initiation of the clinical
(IDE) trial."

meeting; is that correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Were there discussions about biological or clinical
issues?
A. Yes, there were.
Q. Sir, I'm not going to go through every single one of
these.
Did the team discuss clinical trial issues related to
patient safety and -- and biological potential issues
throughout the course of this project?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Now let's turn to page 3 of Exhibit 23.
Now, the language in red, is any of this your language?
Anything you testified to?
A. No, it's not.
Q. Let's turn to page 4.
Now, prior to 2003, did you or your team study the
literature relating to the potential effect of the debris on
patients?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. Did Dr. Campbell conduct analysis of the wear debris in
the simulator relating to the one-piece cup?
A. Yes, she did.
Q. Were the Ultima cup system and the one-piece enrolled in
clinical trials?

Q. By clinical trials that would mean clinical study; is
that right?
A. Correct.
Q. Were clinical studies conducted on the Ultamet Pinnacle
metal-on-metal after sales began?
A. Yes, there were.
Q. Was Pinnacle metal-on-metal the control product in a
clinical study relating to ceramic-on-metal?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. What does the control product mean?
A. It means for the sake of that clinical study it was used
as the baseline or standard product for the analysis to be
done.
Q. And prior to 2003, how many years of research from the
beginning of the alternate bearing project had taken place?
A. Probably 9 to 10 years.
Q. And during the course of that period, was the potential
toxicity of the wear debris analyzed?
A. Yes.
Q. Let's turn to page 5.
Sir, was this your testimony?
A. No, it was not.
Q. In fact, do all the activities listed on the page of --
page 4 likewise belong on page 5?

I believe you testified earlier about some work that
Dr. Gilbert did both in conjunction with future cup and
Pinnacle Ultamet. Is that correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. Now, did anyone investigate corrosion of the articulating
surfaces?
A. Yes.
Q. Who did?
A. We did, as we looked at our wear simulator studies.
Q. Could you explain to the jury what you mean?
A. We would often as part of the standard protocol, test
protocol, we would -- between wearing -- between measuring and
checking the simulator components of the metal-on-metal
components in a wear simulator study, we would do analysis of
the surface to look and see if there was any -- any
indications of any kind of corrosive activity taking place on
the surface.
Q. Just turning to the last page, do you know if the
delivery date of September 30, 1996, for the first simulator
in DePuy Leeds is accurate?
A. I don't recall exactly the actual date.
Q. Was this just a date that Mr. Lanier provided?
A. Yeah.

Metasul, at a minimum were on the market first with the
metal-on-metal product. Correct?

Q. And this was seven years from the beginning of the
alternate bearing project until Ultamet sales?
A. Correct.
Q. Do the additions I've made to what was Exhibit 22, and is
now Exhibit 23, more accurately reflect your testimony?
A. Yes, it does.
MR. POWELL: Your Honor, that concludes our part of
the testimony of Mr. Jim Lancaster.
THE COURT: We'll go ahead and start the other.
JIM LANCASTER BY VIDEO DEPOSITION
(Video playing.)
Q. Good morning, sir. I met you, I guess, as you walked in
the room briefly. I assume for the jury's benefit though they
have not yet.
So you are Jim Lancaster; is that right?
A. I am.
Q. Mr. Lancaster, I show you at least in '96 to be the
project leader for DePuy in their alternative bearings
project; is that right?
A. Well, I think -- at that point in time I was a product
development engineer. That was one of my projects, yes.

leader?
A. No, I would have been the project leader for that
project.
Q. Now, you as a project leader for the alternative bearings
work, you're dealing in what ultimately became some of the
Pinnacle metal-on-metal projects; is that right?
A. Yes, some of that project was early work for that, yes.
Q. And not all of it. You had -- you had other things as
well that came out of it. I think some ceramic work came out
of it also, didn't it?
A. Yeah, the alternative bearings would refer to that as
well.
Q. And, of course, you have a specialty in polyethylene, at
least your master's thesis looked like it to me.
A. Well, I did a -- my master's prosthesis is in tribology.
Q. Okay. But you specifically studied some polyethylene
issues in the tribology thesis, right?
A. Correct.
Q. Now, I'd like to look with you and the jury at whether or
not your company ignored safety as it developed this product.
Do you understand what I mean by saying we're going to
look at that issue?

First, would you agree with me that your company was
trying to get to market quickly?
A. I would say that we were always trying to design and
develop products as timely as we could.
Q. All right. So, in your words, you're trying to develop
products as timely as we could; is that right?
A. Yes.
Q. But we have already seen your company using language of
trying to beat competition to the punch, right?
A. In a prior exhibit.
Q. And that prior exhibit said trying to beat them to the
punch to increase market share; is that right?
A. Actually, I think it said -- I'd have to find the
reference.
Q. Yeah. That's -- I put -- I think market share was
actually at the beginning of the comment.
A. I don't recall. I didn't -- that wasn't a form I was --
Q. Yeah. Hang on. It's Exhibit 4. Let's see what we have
here.
"Significantly increased market share if we can beat our
competition to the punch."
Do you see that?

A. Um-hum.
Q. So "beat competition to the punch" and that will
"significantly increase market share" or "opportunity to
significantly increase market share," right?
A. That's what the statement says.
Q. Okay. So would you at least agree with me the company
was trying to get to market quickly or beat the competition to
the punch, significantly increase market share as timely as we
could?
A. What I would say, my words were trying to develop
products as timely as we could. The other words you've lifted
off of the exhibit which I wasn't involved with creating.
Q. The one you were involved with we should add as well, and
that was to maintain competitive advantage, right?
A. There's a reference to that, yes.
Q. In the one where you're project leader listed on the
form?
A. Correct.
Q. Let's get that language just right.
"Maintain competitive advantage."
Now, let's zoom in on whether or not the company ignored
patient safety. Let's look at that part of my question. All
right?
We'll do it over here in blue ink.
Are you with me?

A. Okay.
Q. Okay. You've got a team, a development team, we see that
on this Exhibit Number 1 where you're listed as team leader.
Project leader, right?
A. Project leader, yes.
Q. All right. Who on this development team deals with
biology and toxicology?
A. Well, we had -- underneath the development team, we had a
materials person in Bernice Aboud and then we would have had
others. I mean, this was our internal development team. Kind
of what we would call a core team, so to speak.
Q. All right. I'm not looking for a materials person. I'm
looking for someone who deals with biology and toxicology
issues.
Who's going to know whether or not the metal debris is
poisonous to the body?
A. Well, those -- for that kind of expertise we would have
worked with external experts.
Q. So nobody on the development team deals with those
issues; is that fair to say?
A. I think it's fair to say that we really didn't have
anybody on that core team listed there that had maybe that
specific expertise.
Q. All right. So nobody on -- and this is called the
development team?

A. It's part of -- yeah, part of the development team, the
internal development team.
Q. With a specialty or expertise in biology, toxicology;
fair to say?
A. Well, I would say nobody on the internal development team
as listed for this.
Q. All right. We'll start out with internal, nobody on
internal development team. Is that better?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. Now, I notice in the commentary section it
talks about some external consultants. It talks about surgeon
consultants to include Brian Haas, Dr. Peters, Engh, Fenning,
and Schmalzried.
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. None of those gentlemen, even though they're medical
surgeons, medical doctors, none of those are -- have a
specialty or an expertise in biology/toxicology. Would you
agree with me?
A. I'm not sure I would agree. I think that some of those
individuals were very -- as physicians and orthopedic surgeons
were very knowledgeable and had a certain level of expertise
in that area.
Q. Okay. Good.
So now I've deposed so far two of these, Dr. Schmalzried

and Dr. Haas, and they've both said, "Not me" on this issue.
Are you saying that your company thought that they were
guys that had the specialty?
A. No. No. I'm suggesting that there would be some level
of clinical knowledge and a certain level of expertise that
they would bring to that discussion.
Q. So you think that the orthopedic surgeons, the bone
surgeons, the guys who cut the bone and put in the new piece,
are supposed to be specialists on whether or not the metal
debris is toxic to the body?
A. I would -- I think orthopedic surgeons certainly have a
knowledge of the implants they put into the body and the
reaction to those -- possible reactions to those implants,
yes.
Q. All right. So your company is relying on the orthopedic
surgeons to do that; is that fair to say?
A. Well, that's -- that would be one source that we would
have relied on.
Q. All right. What other sources was your company relying
on?
A. Well, we were -- we would have worked with -- there were
some other external -- so I would say academic experts that we
were working to understand the -- that part, the biology and
toxicology, looking at debris analysis, things of that nature.
Q. Who?

A. Well, we -- I know we would -- had done some work with
Pat Campbell's lab looking at debris analysis.
Q. All right. So you're looking to Pat Campbell to be the
expert.
Who else?
A. We were also doing some work with Jeremy Gilbert on part
of the -- part of that on the corrosion side.
Q. I mean, Jeremy Gilbert is the Syracuse fellow who dealt
with corrosion?
A. Well, he was at Northwestern at the time.
Q. Yeah. But I mean he's -- he's an engineer, isn't he?
A. Yeah. He's an academic professor.
Q. All right. So you were expecting Jeremy Gilbert to be
able to tell you whether or not the debris is biologically
poisonous or toxic?
A. No. What I'm suggesting is that the combination of all
of these different experts coming together would help and form
that view.
Q. Well, you have multiple degrees, don't you?
A. Pardon?
Q. You have multiple college degrees, don't you?
A. Yes.
Q. You understand there are college degrees in biological
sciences, right?
A. Yes.

that are called toxicologists, right?
A. Yes.
Q. You haven't listed one of them yet for us, have you?
A. Not that I recall.
Q. In fact, if we just start honing in on what you said, for
example, relying on the orthopedic surgeons, these are those
orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Haas, Peters, Engh, Fenning and
Schmalzried that we looked at in Exhibit 1. Remember?
A. Yes.
Q. You had a meeting with those gentlemen, a document we'll
mark as Exhibit Number 5 in May of 1995.
Do you remember that?
A. I do not. I was not involved with the project.
Q. All right. This is right before you got started as
project leader?
A. No. This was in May of '95.
Q. April of '95, sir --
A. Oh, okay.
Q. -- is the actual meeting.
A. Okay.
Q. The minutes were done in May. Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. But these are the doctors that you said y'all were
looking to on your team, right?

on orthopedic surgeons, we have Haas, Peters, Engh, Fenning,
Schmalzried.
Haas, both Haases, Engh, Fenning, Peters. The only one
missing is Schmalzried, right?
A. Okay.
Q. If you'll look at Exhibit 5 on the back, look at some of
the comments here by your doctors you're relying on.
Do you see the comment by Dr. Peters that I've just
highlighted?
THE COURT: Stop.
Okay. Ladies and gentleman, don't talk about the case.
See you back on Monday.
The lawyers are going to work real hard over the next
couple of days, the weekend. They're shortening some things.
They're working hard. We'll give them some time to get that
done. And so we'll see you back Monday.
And have a great few days. Work hard. Make up for all
those days you missed.
Thank y'all. See you back then.
