In ACL reconstructive surgery, doctors often use a screw to attach the ligament to the bone. The CALAXO screw is one such screw. The CALAXO screw is made out of bioabsorbable material that eventually breaks down and is absorbed into the body. Doctors can choose to use either bioabsorbale screws or metal screws – each has its benefits.
 
Most people don’t know which sort of screw was used in their ACL reconstructive knee surgery, and how should they know? If you are experiencing irritation, swelling, or worse following ACL surgery, give us a call today. The sooner you call our CALAXO side effect attorneys, the sooner we can begin working on your case to see if your symptoms are because of the CALAXO screw and whether you are entitled to compensation.
 
According to the FDA, the CALAXO screw was recalled because of the “potential for graft failure and premature material degradation.” In many cases, the screw breaks or disintegrates too quickly, failing to serve its intended purpose. As a side effect, this causes irritation and swelling surrounding the site of surgery, or worse. In some cases, a second surgery must be performed to replace the screw.
 
In August of 2007, after less than two years on the market, the CALAXO screw was recalled.
 
ACL reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation is painful enough without having to deal with the side effects of a recalled medical device. If you have been or think that you may have been injured by the CALAXO screw, give our South Carolina personal injury lawyers a call today at 1-800-849-SINK to see if we can help you.
