After July 24, 2008, when Zimmer’s Holdings, the country’s biggest supplier of orthopedic products stopped selling their hip implants due to its extreme chance of failing, there have been many lawsuits filed all across the nation and in Tennessee due to problems with the Durom cup which began sales in the U.S. in 2006 and since then been used by an estimated 12,000 people. Medical professionals and surgeons expressed grievances about the device not operating correctly and predicted that several people would require additional surgeries to have them replaced. If you or someone you love has been affected by this device and the recall, it is recommended that you speak with a Tennessee defective product attorney as soon as possible. They will be able to review your case and help to see if you are entitled to any compensation for your pain and suffering.

Many concerns were expressed to the Food and Drug Administration in 2006 not long after the device began being used, by medical professionals about the possibility of the device becoming dislocated and moving around and the prediction that the device would require replacement. Zimmer however would not accept these concerns and said that American doctors did not have the necessary skills to implant the Durom cup properly.
