Zimmer Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have a defective Zimmer hip implant? How widespread is the problem?
A: If you have received a Zimmer Durom Cup implant, you may experience problems only a few months to two years after surgery. Of the 12,000+ patients who have received Zimmer hip implants, doctors estimate that over 5% will experience problems. Though this percentage may sound small, it translates into hundreds of people across the United States.
