Understanding the Concerns

Cartiva implants, made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), were touted as a groundbreaking treatment. But reports have emerged of various problems, including:

  • Implant failure: The implant dislodges or wears down, causing persistent pain and decreased mobility.
  • Bone erosion: The smooth surface of the implant can wear against surrounding bones, leading to painful bone loss.
  • Infection: The implant site can become infected, necessitating further surgery and antibiotics.
  • Additional surgeries: Many patients require revision surgery to remove or replace the failed implant.

Exploring Legal Paths

If you’ve faced these issues, you may have grounds for legal action against the manufacturer. Some allegations made by patients who suffered adverse events after receiving the implant include:

  • Product liability: patients claim the implant was defectively designed or manufactured, causing injuries and that the manufacturer knew or should have known about the defect and failed to warn of the risks.
  • Breach of warranty: patients allege the manufacturers breached an express or implied warranty about the implant’s safety and effectiveness.

Seeking Guidance:

Navigating the legal landscape can be complex. Consulting with a qualified personal injury attorney experienced in medical device litigation is crucial. We can assess your case, gather evidence, and advise on the best legal path forward.

Potential Compensation

Patients who allege they suffered injury from a Cartiva toe implant may be entitled to seek compensation for:

  • Medical expenses: Past and future costs related to surgeries, medications, and physical therapy.
  • Lost wages: Income lost due to injury and recovery time.
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused by the implant and subsequent complications.

Remember:

  • Time limits: Each state has statutes of limitations for filing personal injury lawsuits. You must act promptly to ensure your rights are protected.
