The Cartiva implant is a specialized device comprised of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel that mimics the motions performed by a healthy toe joint. Recent studies have shown that the Cartiva implant has led to decreased pain scores and increased range of motion in patients, and because the implant is very durable, the vast majority of patients do not need a follow up procedure because the device has worn down. There are very few surgeons in the state that perform the procedure, but Dr. Silverman has been researching the device and successfully implanting it in satisfied patients. The device is not for everyone, and it won’t reverse your arthritic condition, but it can help improve your quality of life if you are an ideal candidate. If you want to see if the Cartiva implant is something that could help you, schedule an appointment with Dr. Silverman today.
