Information regarding initiating a Calaxo® Screw Lawsuit

If you or a loved one underwent an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) procedure in which a Calaxo® screw was fitted, please contact us immediately for information on Calaxo® screw lawsuits.

Adverse side-effects (leading to lawsuits) have been reported in a number of patients fitted with the Calaxo® screw.

During such reconstructive-based surgery, the replacement ligament (which is generally obtained from another part of the body), is inserted within tunnels that are drilled into the shin bones and thigh bones using a screw device. Metal-based screws were originally used for this type of surgery, but stay permanently in place unless surgery is undertaken to have them removed. The Calaxo® screw had been created as a replacement for the metal screws.

Smith & Nephew's Calaxo® screw was granted approval for use in the U.S. in March 2006, and was utilized until August 2007, at which point Smith & Nephew recalled its product after reports surfaced of swelling, pain, pockets of fluid build up, and fragmentation of screws in a number of patients.

According to their recall letter, in some cases, patients went developed pre-tibial soft tissue swelling between 2 and 36 weeks after the insertion of the Calaxo® screw. Smith & Nephew advised that “because the area of swelling and soft tissue irritation can mimic the appearance of an infection, our medical experts recommend that consideration should be given to aspirating the area for routine cultures."

Side-effects that have been linked to the Calaxo® screw may include any of the following:

  • Swelling of the joint and/or at the area of incision

  • Redness at the area of incision

  • Knee-joint pain

  • Fever
