A team of medical device injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating potential lawsuit cases and settlement claims of individuals who suffered injuries or complications in connection with their Zimmer hip replacement prosthesis, including hip revision surgery to repair, replace or remove the Zimmer hip implant.

Zimmer CPT is a Collarless Polished Tapered femoral stem made of a cobalt-chromium molybdenum alloy with a cemented stem.
