Zimmer CPT Hip System Alert

Zimmer CPT Hip System Recall: Increased Risk of Thigh Bone Fracture – What You Need to Know

On September 17, 2024, the FDA issued an urgent safety communication warning about a serious risk posed by the Zimmer CPT Hip System. This device, a femoral stem implant used in hip replacement surgeries, has been linked to an increased risk of thigh bone fractures after surgery. The implant, made from a polished cobalt-chromium alloy, was designed to provide stability, but recent research shows it may come with unexpected and dangerous complications.

The Risks Involved

If you or a loved one have undergone a hip replacement using the Zimmer CPT Hip System, it’s vital to know the risks:

  • The Zimmer CPT Hip System has shown a higher risk of thigh bone fracture (postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture) compared to other similar hip replacement devices.

  • For those impacted, the result can be severe pain, difficulty walking, and the possibility of needing additional surgeries to repair the damage.

We understand how frightening and overwhelming this news can be. If you’ve received this implant and are now facing complications, you deserve to know that you are not alone. The FDA has advised ongoing monitoring and follow-up for those with the device. If you are experiencing unexpected pain or difficulty walking, consult with your healthcare provider immediately.

For Healthcare Providers

Healthcare professionals are urged to:

  • Discuss these newly identified risks with patients who have received the CPT Hip System.

  • Use alternative hip replacement devices when possible.

  • Only consider implanting the CPT Hip System if there are no other options available, and the benefits outweigh the risks.

Important Note for Patients:

While these recommendations are essential for those considering hip replacement surgery, we understand that many of you may already have the Zimmer CPT Hip System implanted and are facing an uncertain future. If you are experiencing pain, difficulty walking, or other unexpected symptoms, you deserve to know that you may have legal grounds to seek compensation.
