Zimmer Durom Cups

Zimmer Durom Cups Zimmer designed its Durom Cups (Durom Acetabular Component) to be used with its Metasul Large Diameter Heads (Metasul Metal-on-Metal Tribological Solution LDH). The cup and the head create a metal-on-metal joint. The two components of this joint grind against each other creating metal debris as the patient moves. This can cause the components to corrode and fail. Metal-on-metal hip implants have failed at high rates across the entire hip implant industry.
