CALAXO Screw Recall Law Firm

The CALAXO screw is a device used during knee surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The screw’s purpose in the surgery is to hold the knee ligament graft in place. The screws are designed to be naturally absorbed into the body within a year.

Why are CALAXO screws being recalled?

In November, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of the CALAXO screws because they had noticed a tendency for the screws to break. This led to various, often painful, complications and sometimes required additional surgery. Patients have been known to suffer from painful swelling, infection, fluid buildup, and other serious side effects from the broken CALAXO screws.
