Cement supply shortage
Information for orthopaedic patients
There is currently a global shortage of bone cement, a material used in orthopaedic procedures such as hip, shoulder and knee operations.
Patient safety is our top priority, and we have plans in place to make sure that patients continue to receive the care they need.
Unless you have been contacted by us directly, please still come to your appointment or surgery as planned.
We will be in touch if your appointment needs to change.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
