If you're still experiencing pain following ACL surgery, it might be caused by complications related to the screw used. If so, you don't have to suffer in silence. A bone screw commonly used in ACL surgeries has been recalled due to complications. If this type of screw was used in your surgery, we can help.
Tears to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in the knee are a common injury, particularly among athletes. Surgery to repair these tears often requires taking ligaments from other parts of a patient's body and securing them to the knee with screws.
One kind of screw used several years ago for this purpose was called the CALAXO Osteoconductive Interference Screw. The screw was made of material designed to simulate human bone and was supposed to be reabsorbed by the patient's body within 12 months following surgery. But some patients developed complications related to the screw, even as long as 9 months after surgery.
Among the symptoms patients reported are:
Based on these reports, In August 2007 the manufacturer of the CALAXO screw, Smith & Nephew, recalled all these devices and they are no longer used. However, if you experienced any of these symptoms after your ACL repair, you maybe have the right to compensation for the pain you've experienced.
