Zimmer Durom Hip Implant Class Action

We are pursuing class actions in the courts of British Columbia and Ontario on behalf of all Canadians who have been injured after their Zimmer Durom Hip Replacement System (known as the “Durom Cup”) failed. The Durom Cup is an artificial device used in hip replacement or resurfacing surgery. It is a prosthetic shell meant to be implanted into a patient’s hip socket. The lawsuits allege that Zimmer was negligent in the development and manufacture of the Durom Cup and, as a result, Durom Cups have failed to adhere to patients’ hip bones. The failed implants have caused patients pain, discomfort and, in many cases, the need for additional hip replacement surgeries.

On September 2, 2011, the Supreme Court of British Columbia certified the Durom Cup lawsuit as a class action on behalf of "all persons who were implanted with the Durom acetabular hip implant in Canada." The Ontario class action was filed in August 2010.

If you received a Zimmer Durom hip implant, and are experiencing pain, or have undergone, or will undergo, further surgery to replace it, please contact us for more information.
