Nationwide Legal Help from Wright McCall

You trusted a medical device to relieve your pain.

Instead, many patients who received the Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) are now facing worsening pain, loss of mobility, and additional surgeries.

At Wright McCall, we are actively investigating Cartiva implant claims nationwide and fighting to hold manufacturers accountable for defective medical devices.

---

What Is the Cartiva Implant?

The Cartiva implant is a synthetic cartilage device used to treat arthritis in the big toe joint (hallux rigidus).

It was marketed as a breakthrough alternative to traditional fusion surgery—promising:

• Pain relief
• Preserved joint motion
• Faster recovery

But for many patients, those promises didn’t hold up.

Instead of relief, they experienced device failure and long-term complications.

---

The Problem: Cartiva Implant Failures

Patients across the country are reporting serious issues after receiving the Cartiva implant, including:

• Persistent or worsening pain
• Loss of motion and stiffness
• Implant subsidence (sinking into bone)
• Bone loss and joint damage
• Nerve complications
• Need for revision surgery or fusion

Many individuals ultimately required additional surgery—often the very fusion procedure they were trying to avoid.

---

FDA Recall & Growing Legal Action

The risks associated with Cartiva implants have now drawn national attention.

• The FDA issued a Class II recall affecting all devices distributed from 2016 through October 2024
• Reports show higher-than-expected rates of revision, removal, and complications
• Lawsuits have been consolidated into a federal case:
  MDL No. 3172 – Eastern District of Arkansas (2026)

This means the litigation is no longer isolated—it’s a national mass tort.

---

Why People Are Filing Cartiva Lawsuits

These lawsuits focus on one core issue:

The device did not perform as advertised—and patients weren’t properly warned.

Common allegations include:

Defective Design

The implant may degrade, shrink, or fail prematurely inside the body.

Failure to Warn

Patients and doctors were not fully informed of the true risk of failure or complications.

Misleading Marketing

The device was promoted as a safer, motion-preserving alternative—without disclosing real-world outcomes.

Increased Surgical Risk

When the implant fails, revision procedures can be more invasive than the original surgery.

---

How a Failed Cartiva Implant Impacts Your Life

This isn’t just discomfort—it’s life disruption.

Patients report difficulty with:

• Walking or standing for long periods
• Working physically demanding jobs
• Exercising or staying active
• Wearing normal footwear

In some cases, patients say they were worse off after surgery than before.

---

Who May Qualify for a Cartiva Lawsuit?

You may be eligible if:

• You received a Cartiva toe implant
• You experienced ongoing pain, stiffness, or loss of mobility
• Imaging showed implant failure, loosening, or subsidence
• You required revision surgery, implant removal, or fusion
• A doctor recommended additional corrective surgery

Even if your procedure was years ago, you may still qualify.

---

What Compensation May Be Available?

A successful Cartiva lawsuit may provide compensation for:

Economic Damages

• Medical bills and future care
• Revision surgery and rehabilitation
• Lost wages or reduced earning capacity

Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering
• Loss of mobility
• Reduced quality of life

Additional Damages

• Long-term disability impacts
• Permanent joint damage

---

What Needs to Be Proven?

To build a strong claim, your legal team must show:

1. You received a Cartiva implant
2. The implant failed or caused complications
3. The failure resulted in measurable harm
4. The manufacturer failed to properly warn or designed a defective product

Evidence may include:

• Medical records
• Imaging and surgical reports
• Device documentation
• Expert testimony

---

MDL vs. Class Action — What You Should Know

Cartiva cases are part of a multidistrict litigation (MDL)—not a class action.

That means:

• Your case remains individual
• Your damages are based on your specific injuries
• Evidence is shared across cases to strengthen claims

This structure is commonly used in large-scale defective device litigation.

New Findings: A Link Between Depo-Provera and Meningioma

Recent studies have found that using Depo-Provera for longer than one year may increase the risk of developing intracranial meningioma tumors by up to 5.5 times. Meningiomas are tumors that form in the membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. While generally non-cancerous, they can still cause severe complications.
