Zimmer Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Zimmer hip implant defective?
A: Although Zimmer Holdings, the manufacturer of the Durom Cup implant, blames the device’s abnormally high failure rate on inadequate surgical technique, this may not be the case. Dr. Lawrence Dorr, a prominent orthopedic surgeon, said that the Zimmer hip implant is badly designed and does not properly bond to the hip bones.
