Executive Summary
Smith & Nephew has recalled 185 of its Birmingham Hip Resurfacing system after discovering that the implants had been incorrectly packaged by the subcontractor. The mistake led to different sized acetabular cups being mixed together. S&N said the error was limited to a small number of batches and that several implants have already been recovered in their packaging. The company added that it has warned, or is in the process of warning, all hospitals that have received the implants and are -working closely" with surgeons and patients on the appropriate corrective action. The UK and US regulatory authorities have also been notified about the recall.
