Is your hip failure due to a faulty Zimmer Durom Cup? Our attorneys can help.

On July 22, 2008, Zimmer Holdings, Inc. announced it was removing its Durom Cup hip replacement component from the U.S. market due a defective design that can results total hip replacement failure.

Our defective medicine and device lawyers are currently speaking with people who have experienced failure of their Zimmer device, injury, and/or required additional surgery to correct a failed component.

Common symptoms of Durom cup failure occur three months or more after hip surgery and may include:

  • Pain or discomfort in the replacament joint
  • A loose feeling or popping in the replacement joint
  • Additional surgery
  • Revision surgery

    Zimmer’s decision to recall the Durom Cup came after a prominent Los Angeles orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Larry Dorr, told colleagues in a letter that the hip cup device had an unusually high failure rate, forcing patients to have hip replacement surgery.

    Read the FDA recall information.
