Hip Replacement Background
Hip replacement surgery procedures date back to the 1940’s. As medical technology has grown vastly more sophisticated over the years, hip implants now last longer and improve the quality of life for recipients. But when artificial hip replacement devices fail to work properly, it can lead to pain, inability to walk, and sometimes additional revision surgeries.
Zimmer suspends sales of Durom Hip
In 2008, Zimmer Holdings – the largest producer of orthopedic devices in the United States – suspended sales of its Durom Cup hip replacement implant, which has been failing at a staggering rate. Since first being introduced in 2006, the device has been implanted in thousands of people around the country. Unfortunately, a great many of these will most likely need to undergo a more expensive and painful surgery to correct the problem.
