Zimmer Durom Hip Cup

The Durom hip cup is an artificial hip component manufactured by Zimmer Holdings, ltd. The Durom hip cup was first released on the world market in 2006 and has since then been implanted into an estimated 12,000 patients as part of hip replacement surgery.

The Durom hip cup began to come under fire from some physicians and surgeons in 2007, as patients began reporting a seemingly high rate of failure for the device. As of July 2008, Zimmer holdings has suspended sales of the device due to concerns that the device might be defective and susceptible to failure once implanted. There has not been a Durom hip cup recall at present.
