Joint Replacement Problems

I know three people who have recently gotten some sort of joint replacement surgery, whether it was hip or knee replacement. I was just reading that there are problems with a type of hip joint made by Zimmer Durom. I guess there are issues on zimmer durom cup becoming loose after surgery.

I am going to have to check with my friends and see if they know what kind of joint they got inserted, and make sure they know that there are potentially problems with it if they have this type. I saw this mentioned on MCTPLaw.com, they have a whole blog dedicated to this problem so if you need a durom lawyer, or other information on the durom lawsuit this would be a good place to start looking for help and information.


I would hate to think of anyone going through the whole joint replacement process only to have to have it removed or replaced again. I wonder why they do not catch this type of problem in the testing phase of a product. I thought that was the point of the FDA or whoever oversees this type of thing. I am so tired of recalls and the like from all sorts of companies....start checking your products better before you release them!
