Do You Have A Hip Replacement Implant Case? »What are the complications of hip replacement surgery?
Hip implants wear out after 20 years or so. Then more replacement surgery is needed and it's always more complex. With each replacement surgery, the lifespan of the implant declines. The fear of blood clots and infections are very real and always a threat. Certain sitting and bending positions are limited or impossible. 90 percent of hip replacement surgery is successful.
What is the problem with the Zimmer Durom hip implant?
A renowned orthopedic announced that the implantable Durom hip socket is poorly designed. After performing routine hip replacements, his patients experienced great pain prompting immediate replacements for their hip replacements. This is unacceptable and puts patients at risk.
