More than 50,000 Britons with 'metal on metal' hips recalled for X-rays and blood tests over toxic fears More than 50,000 patients with “metal on metal” hips are being told to undergo X-rays and blood tests after watchdogs found they are far more toxic than was thought.
Every person fitted with the devices is being advised to have checks, in a safety alert issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
Concerns have been repeatedly raised about the devices, with watchdogs previously recommending patients with particular types of implant, or troublesome symptoms, to undergo tests. The Daily Telegraph
