Thanks for this info. Readers should also know about the failures of certain technologies like in medical products. For instance, medical observers say that the main problem of the DePuy devices arises out of its defective design. The acetabular component (cup) is sub-hemispherical and does not provide enough coverage for the femoral head (ball) to move freely, and the ball consequently comes in contact with the edge of the cup.
