Calaxo Screws Recalled

Serious complications lead to Calaxo Screw recall

In November 2007, the Calaxo Screw was recalled by the FDA.  The Calaxo screws were recalled due to serious injuries to patients who had the device implanted during surgery to repair damage to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).  The Calaxo Screws subject to the recall have a tendency to break inside the body, leady to a variety of serious injuries.  All numbers and lots of the Calaxo Screws were subject to the November 2007 recall.

Signs and Symptoms of Injury from Calaxo Screw

Patients suffering injury from Calaxo Screws report painful swelling in the knee, infection, fluid build-up, and other serious side effects.  Many patients with a defective Calaxo Screw required additional surgeries to remove the screw along with dead or infected tissue and bone.  Sometimes the Calaxo Screw is replaced with another medical device to improve the patient's condition.

Calaxo Screws used in Reconstructive Knee Surgeries

Calaxo Screws were used in ACL Reconstructive knee surgeries.  The Calaxo Screw was used to hold the ligament graft in place.  Patients who have undergone ACL surgery may have a Calaxo Screw implanted in their body and may not even know it.  Calaxo Screws are different from most surgical screws in that they are designed to be naturally absorbed into the body within a year.
