Vanderhyde and Associates Law Firm is helping people and families who are suffering from the Zimmer Durom Hip Implants.
On July 22, 2008, Zimmer Inc., stopped selling its Durom Hip Acetabular Component and issued a press release saying they were, “temporarily suspending marketing and distribution of the Durom Acetabular Component in the U.S. on a voluntary basis, while the Company updates labeling to provide more detailed surgical technique instructions to surgeons and implements its surgical training program in the U.S.”
Zimmer Durom Cups are artificial implants used in total hip replacement surgery. The device is manufactured by Zimmer Holdings Inc., a multinational company and one of the largest producers of orthopedic devices in the United States. Over 13,000 people nationwide have had the implants, and experts estimate that between 5-8% of these cups are defective. The defective implants fail to bond properly with the existing bone structure, and begin loosen, separate, and painfully grind against the bone as it moves.
