Zimmer Biomet CPT Hip Replacement Device Investigation

Robins Kaplan LLP is Investigating the CPT Hip System Amid Concerns of Thigh Bone Fractures After Surgery

Robins Kaplan LLP attorneys are investigating potential claims related to the Zimmer Biomet CPT Hip System Femoral Stem 12/14 Neck Taper (CPT Hip System) after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an alert to health care providers and patients on September 17, 2024. The FDA cites recent research indicating that the hip replacement implant has a higher risk of thigh bone fractures after surgery compared to similar devices and the probable need for surgical intervention if a crack in the bone occurs.¹

Increased Risk of Thigh Bone Fractures

According to information from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom, patients with the CPT Hip System have the highest risk of fracture around the thigh bone at roughly 1.4%, which is significantly higher than similar hip replacement devices with rates ranging from 0.6% to 1%.²

Understanding Zimmer Biomet’s Voluntary Recall

On July 2, 2024, the orthopedic product maker kickstarted a voluntary recall to update usage instructions for the CPT Hip System and announced its plan to stop selling the device by December 2024 due to the risk.³ The FDA states it is working with Zimmer Biomet to address these concerns and will monitor device performance, as the CPT Hip System continues to be implanted in new patients.
