There are many things in life that can go wrong. One thing that I heard about recently from a friend of mine at work was a surgery gone badly. To be more correct, the surgery was good, the device that was implanted was not! My friend Edger had a bad hip. He needed to replace the hip joint with a device that would allow him to lead a fairly normal life. He went through the surgery and had a durom cup hip replacement. Things seemed to go well and we all thought he would be ok.
The problem didn’t arrive until a few years after the surgery. The doctors wanted to operate again to surgically revise the device that had been implanted. They thought the device was loose and needed to fix it. It turns out that Edger was not alone in this matter as there were other people who had issues on zimmer durom cup. It seemed to be a recurring problem with this particular device.
I know that there are many more people out there who have gone through this type surgery. I strongly advise that if you know of such a person, you tell them to look into the situation. There is a lot of information on the different zimmer durom cup types and the implications of each. I hope that no one else has this kind of problem, but if you did, you should be sure to take appropriate action!
