-24-7 Press Release

12/08/2009 - The Zimmer Durom Cup has been marketed in the United States since 2006. Appoximately 12,500 patients have been implanted with the device. The Durom Cup is primarily used in the United States in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) surgeries and has been used abroad for hip resurfacings.

Zimmer Durom Recall may affect hip replacement patients who have been implanted with a Zimmer Durom Cup since 2006. Many patients who received the defective Zimmer Durom Cup as part of a total hip replacement surgery must undergo revision surgery to have the device replaced. The Zimmer Hip Recall was issued by Zimmer after the Zimmer Durom Cup's high rate of failure was discovered.

The hip implant cup was found to be loose in numerous patients due to a lack of bonding with the patients' bone. This has resulted in patients experiencing severe pain and complications from the Zimmer Durom Cup Implant. Zimmer continued to allow the device to be implanted even after problems were reported to the company. Later, the corporation did issue a Zimmer Recall.

Zimmer Durom Cup Warning by Preeminent Hip Surgeon - The Zimmer hip cup recall was prompted after defects of the Zimmer Durom Cup Hip Replacement were brought to light to the medical profession on April 22, 2008, by Dr. Larry Dorr. Many of Dr. Dorr's patients who were implanted with the Zimmer Hip required hip revision surgery due to the Zimmer Durom Cup failing to bond properly. Dr. Dorr wrote a letter to his colleagues at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons warning of the failures and defects associated with Zimmer's Durom hip cup after notifying Zimmer of the problems with the Zimmer Hip.

Zimmer hip implant lawsuit claims have been filed in numerous federal courts throughout the United States. Patients can contact a Zimmer Durom lawyer at Ennis & Ennis, P.A. with any questions they may have about the Zimmer Durom Lawsuit.

Zimmer Durom Recall - Sales of the Zimmer Durom Cup were suspended by Zimmer in July 2008 after reports that the cup was defective and failed to bond in many patients which required the patients to undergo painful revision surgeries.

Patients who have been implanted with the Zimmer Durom Cup may want to consider filing a Zimmer lawsuit seeking monetary damages from the manufacturer of the device. A Zimmer Durom Lawsuit is an option open to all patients who have undergone Zimmer hip replacement surgery and are experiencing complications.
