Recent reports may suggest that the litigation surrounding the Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) is winding down, but at Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, P.A., we know that the fight for justice for those injured by this defective medical device is far from over. We are actively investigating and pursuing Cartiva implant lawsuits on behalf of individuals who have suffered complications, and we want to assure you that our commitment to these cases remains unwavering.

The initial trial in the Cartiva litigation is scheduled for October 2025 in West Virginia. However, one trial does not signify the end of a widespread issue affecting thousands of individuals who received the Cartiva implant. Many patients continue to experience pain, implant failure, and the need for revision surgeries, even after the October 2024 recall of all Cartiva implants.

We understand the complexities of medical device litigation. Our firm is located in New Jersey, the same state as the Cartiva manufacturer defendant, Stryker Corporation. This proximity offers significant advantages in pursuing these cases, providing us with a deep understanding of the local legal landscape and facilitating efficient case management.

Our dedication to holding medical device manufacturers accountable is long-standing. For over 25 years, attorney Josh Kincannon has been litigating against Stryker Corp. and other medical device companies, successfully recovering millions of dollars for victims of defective products. This extensive experience includes representing clients injured by the Artelon CMC thumb spacer, a prior medical device that, similar to the Cartiva implant, was eventually pulled from the market due to significant issues and failures.

The parallels between the Artelon litigation and the current Cartiva situation are striking and provide us with invaluable insight and a proven track record in navigating these complex cases. We recognize the devastating impact that defective medical devices can have on individuals and their families. The pain, the additional surgeries, the financial burden – these are not just statistics to us; they are the real-life struggles of the people we represent.

Therefore, if you or a loved one has experienced problems with a Cartiva toe implant, including persistent pain, loosening, migration, infection, or the need for revision surgery, we urge you to come forward. Do not be discouraged by reports suggesting the litigation is nearing its conclusion. In many instances, legal action is only just beginning for those who have suffered due to the Cartiva SCI.

We understand the intricacies of the Cartiva implant and the reasons behind its failure. We are prepared to fight for the compensation you deserve for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
