The US Food and Drug Adminstration (US FDA) is providing updated safety information and recommendations to health care providers. This new information is based on the US FDA’s current assessment of metal-on-metal hip implants, including the benefit-risk ratio derived from available data, evaluation of the published literature, and the results of the June 2012 Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Devices Advisory Panel meeting. For more information go to, Medical Devices Safety Communications or Implants and Prosthetics on the US FDA website.
