Quick Procedure
Implanting CARTIVA® SCI is 40% faster than the alternative fusion surgery.2
Smooth Recovery

LONG TERM RESULTSCARTIVA® SCI is proven to provide long-term pain reduction and increased foot mobility, with 97% reduction in pain demonstrated at almost six years post-procedure. |

What to Expect: Recovery
Your big toe arthritis occurred over time, and taking the time to recover properly is important to unlocking the benefits CARTIVA® SCI can provide. Optimal recovery could take 6 to 12 months, so be sure to discuss a recovery plan with your doctor.4
