We will help you explore your legal rights.

Study Highlights    

64%

of participants who received a Cartiva implant for hallux rigidus experienced failure within four weeks of surgery.
79%

of participants who received a Cartiva implant for hallux rigidus experienced failure 19 months after surgery.

The study also found that the implant did not preserve the joint space or prevent further cartilage damage.

Cartiva toe implant bone loss injuries can be a significant concern for individuals seeking relief from conditions such as osteoarthritis in the big toe. The Cartiva implant, designed to mimic the function of natural cartilage, aims to alleviate pain, and maintain joint mobility. However, in some cases, patients may experience complications leading to bone loss around the implant site. This can result in discomfort, reduced functionality, and may necessitate additional surgical interventions.

Cartiva toe implant patients may experience a potential risk of infection around the implant site. Infections can lead to severe complications, causing pain, swelling, and a decline in joint function. Timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial in managing these issues, often requiring a combination of antibiotic treatments and, in severe cases, surgical intervention to address the infection and salvage the implant.

Patients may undergo revision surgery due to issues such as implant wear, persistent pain, or the occurrence of complications like infection or bone loss. The revision procedure involves the removal or replacement of the existing Cartiva implant, and the surgeon may explore alternative solutions to address the underlying orthopedic concerns. This secondary intervention requires careful consideration of the patient's overall health, joint condition, and the specific reasons for the revision.

Bone Fusion
