Details
Recent research has found that the CPT Hip System Femoral Stem 12/14 Neck Taper, cobalt chromium, (a type of hip implant) carries a higher risk of postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) compared to hips of a similar design but made of a different material. The device will be phased out in the UK by December 2024.
