Reason
Smith & Nephew became aware of new information relating to the performance of Birmingham hip modular head (BHMH). Recent registry and clinical data showed a decline in the performance of the BHMH. Based on its analysis of this information, Smith & Nephew considers that patients implanted with the BHMH device may be at greater risk of revision surgery.
