Abstract
Key message points
- There has been litigation in relation to the three types of harm associated with contraceptive implants: non-insertion, deep insertion and nerve injury.
- Recommendations for safe clinical practice can be derived from analysis of legal cases and published case reports.
- Nerve injury has invariably been caused by clinicians without upper limb surgical skills attempting difficult removals.
- The launch of the updated single-rod implant (Nexplanon®) may hold the best possibility for harm reduction.
- Litigation in relation to side effects can lead to the withdrawal of safe and effective contraceptive products, so reducing choice for women
