Durom® Cup Sales Suspended

In July 2008, Zimmer, Inc., voluntarily suspended the sale of the Durom® Hip Resurfacing System in the United States after physicians expressed concern over a high failure rate with the hip replacement device. Reports indicate that the Durom® cup may fail to fuse properly with the bone, instead separating and migrating in the body. When the Durom® cup moves, it pushes the metal hip socket against bone, which can cause excruciating pain for patients. Additionally, problems with the Durom® cup may require patients to undergo hip revision surgeries, medical monitoring or rehabilitation.

History of Durom® Cup

Since 2006, the Durom® cup has been implanted in nearly 13,000 patients.  According to the New York Times, veteran orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lawrence Dorr first told Zimmer about his concerns with Durom® hip replacement cup in early 2008. The manufacturer did not investigate the issue until Dr. Dorr raised his concerns with the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons.

Damages

If you or a loved one has been injured, recovery is possible for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income (past and future), and more. Please call today to speak to Tim Edwards or Ed Wallis at 901.527.2125 for more information.

No Recovery, No Fee

Generally speaking, we take cases on a contingent basis. That means that there is generally no cost to you unless we are able to recover a settlement or judgment on your behalf. So, unless your case is resolved by trial, arbitration, settlement, or other resolution, you generally do not have to pay any attorney fees to us, or pay any costs. Litigation costs include filing fees, court reporter fees for deposition, copying costs, experts, and travel. Litigation costs are paid by our firm so you don’t have to have cash to pursue justice against Advanced Bionics. If there is a recovery, we are reimbursed our fronting of litigation costs out of any damages you are awarded. So, in a sense, you do not need cash up front to hire us as your lawyer to pursue a claim for personal injuries, emotional injuries, lost business or property damage.
