The HyProCure is a titanium stent, the approximate size and shape of a small screw, that is placed through a minimally invasive procedure, usually under twilight/local sedation, into a naturally occurring space between the ankle and heel bones.

Following placement of the HyProCure titanium stent instantly realigns and stabilized the hindfoot while allowing normal joint range of motion. 

Overall balance and alignment of the foot/ankle is improved and the arch of the foot may appear more normal.

It may not look like much, but this little device has helped tens of thousands overcome painful and even debilitating pain.

Common symptoms in both children and adults include:

• Growing Pains / Shin Splints
• Overpronation / Hyperpronation
• Bunions / Hammertoes
• Heel Pain / Spurs (Plantar Fasciitis)
• Tendon and Ligament Strain
• Knee, Hip and Back Pain

This condition will not resolve on it’s own. Patients do not grow out of it and it cannot be properly treated with exercise or physical therapy.

It is an anatomical, internal problem and only an internal solution can restore proper alignment.

The secondary effects of talotarsal displacement include abnormal strain and pressure on joints, ligaments and bones throughout the body.

When the secondary conditions are treated without properly addressing the partial talotarsal dislocation, the treatment results will be temporary. The symptoms will most likely recur or shift to another part of the body.

In the procedure, the HyProCure stent is inserted into a naturally occurring space between the ankle and heel.

Thanks to the unique titanium threading, the soft tissues in your foot are then able to quickly adhere to the stent naturally, with no screws or plates necessary.

Once in place, the device instantly realigns and stabilizes your hindfoot, moving your foot, ankle, hips, and knees back into proper alignment.

Your weight is rebalanced into a healthy configuration, decreasing pressure on sensitive joints and putting very little pressure on the stent itself.

In addition, you will also find improved range of motion in your ankle, and may even notice your arch return to a more normal shape.

Traditional surgery to correct adult-acquired flatfoot or to realign the ankle often requires large incisions, plates or screws, and a lengthy recovery period.

Bones, tendons, and ligaments may need to be cut, transferred, or realigned. Although surgery is usually successful and the end result will be a healthy foot, it is a major procedure and can keep you off your feet for a long time.

By contrast, minimally invasive HyProCure surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that only requires a small incision.

The stent is positioned in soft tissues inside a naturally occurring gap, which means no bones or tendons need to be cut or fused, and no screws or plates are required.

Thus yielding, much quicker recovery times.

Post-op the HyProCure procedure, we recommend you stay off your feet as much as possible for the first few days, but most people can get rid of the crutches after just 3-5 days, experience significant improvement in walking ability after 10 days, and can resume most activities after just 4-6 weeks with only minimal soreness.

The key to remember, the more you can rest and stay off your feet, the quicker your recovery will be.
