Zimmer Holdings, a multinational company and the largest artificial joint component manufacturer in the United States, is one of several companies to face product recalls in recent years. The Zimmer Durom Cup now joins Depuy’s ASR Acetabular System and Stryker’s Trident PSL and Hemispherical Acetabular System as a recent FDA hip product recall.
It is estimated that the Zimmer Durom Cup was used in roughly 13,000 hip replacement surgeries throughout the United States between 2005 and 2008. Research indicated between a 5% and 8% rate of failure involving an improper bond between the patient’s bone and the cup itself. Complications were brought to the public’s attention in April of 2008 when Dr. Dorr, a highly respected Californian orthopedic surgeon wrote a letter to the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons warning about the potential dangers.
