Lawsuits for Recalled Zimmer Biomet Hip Implants
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about Zimmer Biomet’s CPT Hip System implants in September 2024, following a recall initiated by the company in July.
The recall was prompted by concerns that the cobalt-chromium alloy implant is twice as likely to cause thigh bone fractures when compared to similar products made of stainless steel.
Now, the FDA is urging health care providers to use alternative implants when available in order to protect patients from potential harm.
While Zimmer Biomet plans to phase out the use of their CPT Hip System Femoral Stem 12/14 Neck Taper by the end of October 2024, many patients who’ve already had this device implanted may still be at risk.
Who Can File a Zimmer Hip Lawsuit?
You may be able to file a Zimmer hip lawsuit if:
- You received a Zimmer Biomet CPT Hip System implant
- The implant caused or contributed to a broken femur
- You had to undergo or were told you’ll need revision surgery as a result
It’s important to contact a law firm as soon as possible about filing a Zimmer hip implant lawsuit. There’s only a limited amount of time to take legal action due to state laws called statutes of limitations.
Once this deadline passes, you won’t be able to seek justice and compensation for your injuries again.
Health Risks of Zimmer Biomet Hip Implants
Patients with the Zimmer Biomet CPT Hip System are particularly at risk for postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures, which occur in the thigh bone near the hip implant.
These fractures are often the result of a traumatic event, like a fall, and may have serious, long-term consequences for patients.
Zimmer Biomet hip implant fractures may cause:
- Blood clots
- Infections
- Loss of mobility
- Pain
In some cases, patients have undergone or been told they need revision surgery to fix the fracture or replace the device. The cost of physical therapy after surgery can add up quickly.
Zimmer hip replacement lawsuit settlements may be able to help you pay for treatment costs, lost wages, and other expenses related to your injury.
