Defective Hip Replacement Cups

I played golf the other day with a lady who was recovering from a hip replacement. She played great, but she wasn't satisfied because she said she was having to use a different swing. The reason: she didn't have to adjust to the pain she has suffered from so much in the past. From my experience, most of the hip replacements I've heard of have been quite successful and even cause the recipients to have a new lease on life. But occasionally I hear about some that aren't so uccessful, often because there's a defect in the prosthetic hip.

One problem I've heard about relates to issues on the Zimmer Durom cup. An orthopedic researcher and surgeon, Larry Dorr, MD, has found that a very high rate of Durom hip cups implanted at his clinic needed to be surgically revised within two years of implantation.If you know someone with this type of hip replacement and they've had trouble, you might want to direct them to a Durom lawyer who's been filing Durom lawsuits on behalf of the recipients of these faulty devices.
