Cartiva Implant Recall: What You Need to Know — and How to Protect Your Rights
The Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) was promoted as a breakthrough for people suffering from arthritis in the big toe joint—offering pain relief and mobility without joint fusion. But thousands of patients now report severe pain, implant failure, and costly revision surgeries. The FDA has issued a recall, and lawsuits are underway against the manufacturer.
If your Cartiva implant failed or caused complications, you may be entitled to compensation.

About the Device
Approved by the FDA in 2016, the Cartiva SCI was made from a hydrogel meant to act like natural cartilage—absorbing shock and protecting the joint. But despite its promises, real-world results tell a different story: patients have reported premature breakdown, displacement, and worsening pain that often leads to fusion surgery.
