Defective Surgical Screws

The Calaxo screw, approved by the FDA in 2006, has now been recalled due to serious risks. This screw has been used to attach ligament to bone. It was designed to make healing and recovery quicker and to eliminate the need to remove screws. Instead, it has caused all kinds of side effects including: fluid build-up, swelling, fever, and severe, relentless pain at the surgical site. Many have required surgery to remove and replace the screws or remove infected or dead tissue and bone.
