A number of people throughout the United States have experienced excruciating pain after undergoing hip replacement surgery where a Zimmer Durom Cup was implanted. These surgical parts found in the device did not work properly causing a loosening of the cup, forcing many patients to undergo painful and costly additional hip operation surgeries to correct the defect.

The Durom Cup hip replacement implant is a single piece made of cobalt-chromium alloy. The metal device was implanted in approximately 13,000 American patients before studies showed that approximately 5% of Durom Cup implants gave patients significant complications following their surgeries. The Durom Cup hip replacement implant, which was introduced by Zimmer in 2006, has since been recalled in the United States. However, many patients have been affected by the surgery. In these patients, the metal hip implant failed to bond properly with the existing bone structure, allowing the metal socket to become loose and separated, causing a painful grinding against the bone as it moves.
