Big Toe Arthritis
Cartiva Implants provide advanced technology in joint replacement for patients with big toe arthritis (hallux rigidus). Cartiva implants behave very much like the natural cartilage in the human body, it’s durable and lasts longer than alternative implant options. Recent studies have shown that Cartiva Implants have a lesser chance of failure or loosening and provide shock absorption similar to natural joints.
Dr. Michael Barnett was the first surgeon in Ohio to perform a Cartiva Implant replacement in 2016. Dr. Barnett is skilled and experienced in a wide range of orthopedic foot and ankle conditions, including the treatment of big toe arthritis
