Other Risks and Complications
Though the residue provided the catalyst for the recall, it’s not the only complication associated with Zimmer Kinectiv hip implants. There have also been countless reports made to the FDA citing concerns regarding corrosion, fretting, loosening of the device and an excessive amount of metal ions being found in patient blood.
These complaints stemmed from the fact that the Zimmer Kinectiv hip replacement system features the same risks that are associated with all metal-on-metal hip implants. When the metal parts rub against each other while the patient walks or runs, tiny metal particles may be released into the body, damaging the bone and tissue and causing a number of serious complications, including pain, implant loosening and device failure. To treat these complications and attempt to reverse the symptoms, patients who received a Zimmer Kinectiv hip implant may require a complex revision surgery to remove and replace the dangerous device.
