Zimmer Durom Cup Defect Claims and Trident Acetabular PSL Cup Defect Claims on the Rise
Thousands of Americans are forced to have hip replacements on an annual basis. Fortunately, there have been huge advances in technology when it comes to hip prosthetics and ceramic cups used in hip replacement surgeries. However, the Federal Drug Administration has recently warned that Zimmer Inc and Stryker Corporation are producing defect hip components that may cause serious side-effects and require future surgeries to repair damage.
The Durom Hip Replacement System Cup is known to loosen over a short period of time, causing an audible noise when the recipient walks. The Zimmer Durom Hip Replacement System consists of a hip cup, head, and neck adapter and in August 2008 litigation commenced against Zimmer due to the defect of their hip replacement system. The defective Durom cups may need to be repaired or replaced within two years of the original surgery due to their high rate of failure. This is obviously of particular concern with recipients, as traditional hip replacement solutions should last decades, not two years. Do you have a Zimmer Dorum Cup defect claim?
The Stryker Corporation was sent a warning letter by the Food & Drug Administration back in November 2008, warning the company of high rate of defects associated with the Stryker Trident Acetabular PSL Cup and Trident Hip Implant. The components of the Stryker hip replacement are known to cause a high level of friction and produce squeaking noises, resulting in pain and suffering by the recipient. What is most concerning is that federal investigators inspected the Stryker manufacturing facility and uncovered serious quality control deficiencies and use of nonconforming hip replacement parts. Do you have a Stryker Hip Implant defect claim?
