This timeline is dedicated entirely to tracking Smith & Nephew’s (S&N) involvement with metal hip implants until the FDA yanked metal hip implants from the market in February 2016. It includes color coding to make it easier to track certain aspects of the company’s dubious involvement in selling metal hips in the U.S.
