Hip Replacement Patients at Possible Risk
A preeminent surgeon has warned colleagues that an artificial hip component may come loose - leaving patients in pain and in need of replacement surgery.
Zimmer Hip Implant - Durom® Cup Recall
In April, Dr. Lawrence Dorr, an orthopedist in Los Angeles, told the New York Times that the Durom® Cup, a device produced by Zimmer Holdings, "is a bad design."
A number of Dr. Dorr's colleagues have agreed, reporting the component has a higher than expected rate of failure. In response to growing physician discontent and patient complaints, Zimmer last month decided to halt sales of the Durom® Cup - but not recall the device. According to Zimmer President and CEO David Dvorak, "U.S. surgeons ... should stop implanting the Durom® Cup until we issue the updated labeling that provides more detailed guidance on surgical technique, and until they receive training,"
Have You had Problems?
If you are one of the more than 12,000 patients receiving the Zimmer Durom® Cup and suspect your implant is defective, you may contact an experienced product liability attorney at the Spangenberg law firm to discuss whether you are entitled to compensation.
Hip Replacement Device Defective:
Unfortunately, this response comes too late for over 12,000 patients in the United States who were given no warnings of potential complications prior to surgery, and whose doctors were provided inadequate instruction and training on how to install the artificial hip component. Zimmer may have left these patients at risk of suffering severe, painful injuries should their Durom® Cup fail.
