Cartiva® SCI Implant | Hallux Rigidus Treatment | Thomas Clanton, MD

http://thomasclantonmd.com/ Dr. Clanton of The Steadman Clinic offers the Cartiva® SCI implant as a treatment option for hallux rigidus. The Cartiva® SCI is a synthetic implant that is made of a soft plastic-like substance (polyvinyl alcohol) and salt water (saline). These materials are molded into a solid, smooth and durable implant that serves as a replacement for the damaged cartilage surface of the big toe. The Cartiva® SCI is performed as an outpatient procedure. The procedure begins through a small cut in the top of the toe, which will open the big toe joint. Bone spurs created by arthritis of the big toe are removed from around the joint to provide access. The Cartiva® SCI is then placed into the joint providing a smooth, load-bearing surface that restores the joint anatomy. The implant stays in place without the use of cement or glue.
