Operations can resume after bone cement shortage

Manx Care says orthopaedic operations can now continue as planned after a shortage of bone cement.

A major manufacturer announced the specialist cement, used in hip and knee replacements, would be in short supply for two months and it suspended making it.

However, Manx Care says it's monitoring the situation and there's now an alternative supply from another manufacturer.

As a result, orthopaedic operations can now continue as planned here and in the UK.
