Wright Cartiva

Wright Cartiva By Dr. Warren Windram D.P.M. Foot and Ankle Surgeon

CARTIVA® SCI Keeps you Moving

The big toe joint holds up to 100% of your weight every time you step. That pressure can cause the cartilage in the joint to wear down, leading to painful big toe arthritis. The good news? There are treatment options that can help you move again.

CARTIVA® SCI is a quick 35-minute procedure where your physician replaces the damaged cartilage in your big toe with a new synthetic cartilage that behaves like the natural cartilage of your big toe joint.It’s the only FDA approved option that safely and effectively reduces arthritis pain while also improving your toe’s range of motion.

Movement Matters

Your big toe joint is uniquely designed for movement and provides most of the force needed for walking and running. Unlike fusion surgery, which locks the joint in place, CARTIVA® Synthetic Cartilage Implant (SCI) reduces pain while also allowing your joint to move how it’s supposed to. Implanting CARTIVA® SCI is also 40% faster than the alternative fusion surgery. No casts or crutches, recovery is smooth and patients can typically bear weight immediately after receiving CARTIVA® SCI. CARTIVA® SCI is proven to provide long-term pain reduction and increased foot mobility, with 97% reduction in pain demonstrated at almost six years post procedure CARTIVA® SCI Procedure

WHAT WILL HAPPEN BEFORE SURGERY?

Your doctor will give you instructions prior to your surgery. You should follow these instructions the day before the operation. This surgery usually occurs without an overnight stay in the hospital. The procedure usually lasts about 25 minutes.

What Will Happen During Surgery?

The CARTIVA SCI goes through a small cut in the top of your toe. Once you have been given anesthesia and are asleep in the operating room, the procedure will begin. First, your doctor will make a small (about 2 inch) cut in the skin over the top of your big toe joint. This will open the joint of your big toe. Then, the doctor will use special tools to remove the necessary amount of bone to make a hole for the implant. Your doctor will then place the CARTIVA implant into the hole in your bone joint, providing a smooth, slippery, load-bearing surface. The implant stays in place without the use of cement or glue. Once in place, your doctor will close the cut in your toe with sutures, apply any dressings and finish the operation.

What Can I Expect After Surgery?

Ask your doctor about what will help you recover from surgery. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. You may begin putting weight on your toe as soon as you feel ready. You should begin exercises that move your joint immediately following surgery. You may need the help of a physical therapist to help you walk smoothly and without limping during your recovery. You should see your doctor to check on your progress after surgery.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT GoldFellow Offers a Safe, Secure & Convenient Way to Sell Gold, Silver, Platinum & Diamonds By Christy Jaillet

Do you have an old piece of jewelry around the house? Maybe it’s a broken bracelet or a ring you just don’t wear anymore. For many of us, those items simply sit in a drawer or a safe, collecting dust, never to be worn or seen again. That is where the folks at GoldFellow can help! GoldFellow will purchase unwanted gold, platinum, silver and diamond jewelry at very competitive prices.

The company was founded by Robin and Michael Gusky. The couple previously owned one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of karat gold jewelry in the United States for 30 years before selling to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway in 2007. They’ve taken that vast experience to create a firm you can trust.

We sat down with the company founder, Michael, to learn more.
