Cartiva Toe Implant Complications and Failures

However, some patients who have received the Cartiva implant have experienced serious complications, such as persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, infection, implant loosening, fracture, or migration. Some of these complications have required additional surgeries to remove or replace the implant, or to fuse the joint.

Some of the symptoms of Cartiva implant complications are:

  • Increased pain in the big toe joint or the ball of the foot
  • Difficulty walking or wearing shoes
  • Reduced mobility or flexibility of the toe
  • Swelling, redness, warmth, or drainage around the implant site
  • Feeling of instability or clicking in the joint
  • Change in the shape or length of the toe

How Much Could You Recover in a Cartiva Implant Lawsuit?

Every Cartiva case is unique, so determining the potential settlement value is impossible without a closer look at your specific situation. However, several key factors can significantly influence the compensation you might receive:

  • Severity of Injury: Permanent disabilities may be weighed differently than other cases.
  • Medical Expenses: The cost of past and future medical care plays a significant role in the settlement calculation.
  • Lost Wages/Earning Capacity: Compensation considers wages lost due to injuries and potential future impact on earning potential.
  • Quality of Life Impact: The extent to which Cartiva affected your physical and mental well-being is crucial.
  • Pain and Suffering: Emotional and physical pain caused by the implant are factored into the settlement.
