My friend Rick had a durom cup hip replacement done a few years ago.  He had been having knee and hip problems for a few years, and his doctor suggested that one of the zimmer durom cup types would be a good choice for his  hip replacement procedure.

 

It has only been recently that Rick became aware that there have been some serious issues on zimmer durom cup raised in the medical and legal field.  Apparently some of these cups have failed in a fairly high percentage of patients.  Rick was telling me that he has scheduled an appointment with his doctor to check on his own device and see if it is still working correctly.   He is concerned that if it is showing unusual signs of wear that he may need to hire a law firm to help him with a lawsuit to collect damages and pay for a replacement.
