Cartiva implant failures caused preventable harm — Wright Medical must be held accountable.
The Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) was FDA-cleared in 2016 as a minimally invasive treatment for hallux rigidus (big toe arthritis). However, a significant number of patients experienced early implant failure, severe post-operative pain, and implant subsidence — sinking into the bone — requiring salvage surgery to fuse the joint. Lawsuits allege that Wright Medical failed to adequately disclose the true failure rates to patients and surgeons.
What Is the Cartiva Implant Lawsuit?
The Cartiva implant lawsuit involves legal claims filed by patients who received the Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) for hallux rigidus — a form of big toe arthritis — and subsequently experienced premature implant failure, severe pain, bone deterioration, or required revision surgery. The device was marketed by Wright Medical Technology as a joint-preserving alternative to fusion surgery that offered faster recovery and preserved range of motion.
Plaintiffs allege that Wright Medical knew or should have known about the elevated failure rates and failed to adequately warn patients and physicians. Lawsuits seek compensation for medical expenses, revision surgery costs, pain and suffering, lost wages, and diminished quality of life.
Who Can File a Cartiva Implant Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a Cartiva lawsuit if you or a loved one received the Cartiva SCI device and subsequently experienced implant failure, persistent or worsening joint pain, implant subsidence (sinking into the bone), or were required to undergo revision surgery including joint fusion.
