Hip Pain From Defective Hip Implant

Hip Implant Recall News:  August 8, 2008 Zimmer Hip Implant Recall

Patients with constant pain after a hip implant may need to talk to their doctor to see if the hip implant has failed or whether the hip plant has broken, come loose or other hip surgery related problems. According to most experts, temporary pain or discomfort after a hip implant surgery is normal and not suggestive of a broken hip implant, femoral heads or socket.  Fracture of implants however is usually signaled by a sudden pain in the implanted hip joint, sometimes preceded by an audible "pop" from the hip just before the onset of pain.

If a hip implant fractures, surgery to replace it will be necessary. Currently, no tests exist that can predict which patients will experience failure of their hip implants because of defective hip implants, but a patient with a defective or recalled hip implant like the ones described below should be closely monitored by their doctors. 

Some Zimmer hip implant patients are suffering from what have described as Zimmer hip pain.  Pain in area of where a hip implant replacement has been done may indicate a defective or faulty hip implant, loose hip implant, broken hip implant, or defective hip implant. Zimmer hip implant patients who are concerned that they may have received a defective artificial hip replacement that is one of the recalled Zimmer Durom Cup Hip Implants, are urged to contact their orthopedic surgeons or the hospital where their Zimmer hip replacement surgery took place to find out if a possibly defective Zimmer Durom Cup Hip Implant was used in their hip replacement surgery.

The Zimmer Durom hip implant failure may result in Zimmer hip replacement patients having to have a replacement surgery.NOTE: If you have a replacement surgery, tell your Doctors that you want the hip implant to be preserved as evidence and NOT shipped or returned to the manufacturer as it is critical evidence in a potential product liability lawsuit against Zimmer.
