Cartiva implant litigation
Claims allege that the Cartiva implant, a gel plug used to treat big-toe arthritis, fails at far higher rates than its approval studies reported.

What the claims allege
Cartiva was marketed as a motion-preserving alternative to toe fusion. Independent studies and surgeon reports describe failure and reoperation rates far above the pivotal trial figures, and the product line was discontinued. Claims allege the implant was defectively designed and oversold.
Injuries named in the litigation
- Implant subsidence (sinking into bone)
- Persistent or worsening toe pain
- Fragmentation of the implant
- Fusion surgery after failure
