Loosening or Dislocation of Hip Implant Side Effects from Zimmer Kinectiv Hip Implant

Loosening or dislocation of the hip joint is a very real risk for many patients implanted with a Zimmer® hip replacement, such as the Zimmer® M/L Taper Prosthesis with Kinectiv® Technology.

Zimmer® M/L Taper Prosthesis with Kinectiv® Technology

The Zimmer® M/L Taper Prosthesis with Kinectiv® Technology is a hip replacement with a system of modular metal components, originally designed to be more durable and adjustable than other hip devices. Today, however, the Zimmer® Kinectiv® hip implant is linked with a range of serious, sometimes even fatal health issues, including:

  • Bone fractures
  • Metallosis (metal poisoning)
  • Loosening and dislocation of the hip joint
  • Severe pain

Many Zimmer® Kinectiv® hip patients experience such debilitating hip problems that they are forced to undergo costly, complicated revision surgery to replace the original artificial hip.

Loosening or Dislocation of the Zimmer® Kinectiv® Hip Implant

One of the most common complications associated with faulty hip implants is hip replacement dislocation. This dislocation occurs when the ball and cup system of the hip implant separate. This metal hip problem most often occurs suddenly and requires emergency medical attention. Some orthopedic specialists allege that the faulty design of some components of Zimmer® Kinectiv® implants are the cause of patients’ hip implant dislocations.
