Description

The MDA was a result of clinical concerns of early failure in a minority of patients, and asked all Health Boards to identify and follow up patients who had been fitted with implants of the type in question.

Since 2012 further evidence has been reviewed, and the MHRA has therefore issued a new MDA.
