It has recently been reported that a type of metal-on-metal hip implant previously supplied by DePuy and manufactured in the UK may have been faulty due to manufacturing defects which led to sizing incompatibility. This sizing error during production could wear the implant out prematurely.
This type of metal-on-metal hip implant hasn’t been used at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital for five years. Patients who received the implant have been identified and are already being reviewed annually.
