First Synthetic Cartilage Implant Approved by FDA
Arthritis at the base joint of the big toe often requires fusion surgery to prevent constant pain, but **w there’s a new option from a company called Cartiva our of Alpharetta, Georgia. The newly FDA Approved Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) is the First man-made Cartilage replacement device to become available in the U.S.

It is implanted into bone after making a bore hole, with the native bone on the opposite side of the joint allowed to rest against it. It’s durable and has similar mechanical characteristics as natural cartilage, hopefully lasting a good deal of time.

The big advantage of the Cartiva SCI is that the toe is allowed to flex instead of remaining stiff compared to fusion surgery.

Here’s a company animation describing the implantation of the Cartiva SCI:
