Patients with Zimmer Durom Hip Cup Implant May Experience Hip Pain, Need Additional Surgery

The product liability attorneys working with Class Action.org are available to review claims from patients who were implanted with the Zimmer Durom Hip Cup and required corrective surgery. Some doctors reported Zimmer hip implant failure or loosening in patients, many of whom required revision surgery to correct the problem. If you or a loved one required a second surgery to fix a Zimmer hip implant, visit http://www.classaction.org/zimmer-durom-cup-hip-socket-implant.html to find out if you can recover financial compensation. 

In July 2008, Zimmer Holdings announced that it would suspend sales of the Durom Cup, after reports showed that the hip implant failed to bond in some patients. Zimmer claims that the hip implant itself is not defective, but rather insists that surgeons are not implanting the device correctly. However, a number of surgeons, many with extensive experience performing hip replacement procedures, found the device difficult to implant and heard patients complain of recurring pain and other symptoms following surgery. Pain upon standing, stiffness, sharp groin pain, decreased walking endurance and difficulty walking were among the symptoms reported in patients who experienced problems with the Zimmer hip implant. 

If you or a loved one experienced unexplained hip pain more than three months following implantation with a Zimmer Durom Hip Cup or needed a hip replacement revision surgery to correct a problem with the device, visit http://www.classaction.org/zimmer-durom-cup-hip-socket-implant.html and complete the free case evaluation form. The Zimmer hip implant lawyers working with Class Action.org are offering this case review at no cost and are available to represent patients who suffered injuries due to the Zimmer Durom Hip Cup.
