How To Diagnosis Partial TaloTarsal Displacement


Ultimately, the best way to diagnosis the presence of talotarsal displacement is through radiographic examination, which officially confirms the presence and severity of the condition.

Traditionally, most specialists will order a series of standing radiographs, that is, x-rays of the foot while the person is standing. These should be taken with the foot in its relaxed position (full weight applied) and also with the hind-foot bones in their balanced “neutral” or ideal position.

In addition, a specialist may perform further movement tests, as well as some computer-aided exams like gait pattern analysis, if deemed necessary.

All of these diagnostic methods are completely painless and non-invasive. They are safe, fast and are simple routine processes.

Changing Lives, One Step at a Time: HyProCure® Marks 8 Years


HyProCure® was invented by Michael E. Graham, DPM, FACFAS, FAENS. In his practice, Dr. Graham specialized in the correction of foot and ankle instability. Recognizing the significant limitations of the sinus tarsi implants on the market, he developed HyProCure®. The device received FDA approval on September 16, 2004 and the first HyProCure® placement took place on September 22, 2004. As more and more doctors and patients gained awareness of both the condition and treatment, GraMedica®, global orthopedic medical device company and maker of HyProCure®, experienced rapid growth.

Dr. Graham was determined to improve patient outcomes by providing this revolutionary solution. In order to share his knowledge and expertise with other foot and ankle surgeons, he founded the Graham International Implant Institute® (GIII®) in August 2006. The mission of GIII® is to elevate the standard of care in the arena of Extra-Osseous TaloTarsal Stabilization through education. Since the release of HyProCure®, many peer-reviewed studies have been published recognizing the proven results of this EOTTS device. Learn more at http://www.gramedica.com/library/.

Why is HyProCure® Different from Other Devices?

A New Kind of TaloTarsal Stabilization

One of the most important advantages of the HyProCure® system is the procedure itself. The actual surgery is minimally invasive, generally takes less than 15 minutes, requires only local anesthetic, and can actually be performed in-office, which makes it ideal for patients without insurance coverage.

While the procedure is similar in principle to subtalar devices, there are several very important differences that need to be reviewed before you can perform the HyProCure® procedure safely and effectively. To aid you with this, we have prepared a fast-track online training program that will arm you with the core preparation to successfully perform the procedure. In addition, we also offer many hands-on training seminars year-round and throughout the world that can assist you in advancing your training and certification status.

The complete details of the HyProCure® procedure itself will be covered during your training and certification process, whether online or at one of our seminars. We also invite you to review the procedure animation video below for a guided overview of the process.

HyProCure®: A Real Solution for Flexible TaloTarsal Displacement

Talotarsal dislocation (partial) is a condition affecting people of all ages throughout the world. It occurs when the ankle bone displaces off of its normal position and its contact points on the hind-foot bones—in other words, when the balance and alignment of the ankle bone on the heel bone is lost. This displacement creates an abnormal, inward rotation of the ankle bone and outer rotation of the rest of the foot, which in turn creates a fundamental imbalance of forces and weight distribution both in the foot itself, as well as in the rest of the body.

When partial talotarsal dislocation occurs, it creates a damaging misalignment of forces both in the foot itself, as well as throughout the entire body. This is because the rear-foot is the center point of our body’s balance and weight distribution during walking and standing. As a consequence, talotarsal displacement can be the direct cause of numerous foot ailments, including low arches, plantar fasciitis or heel pain, overpronation, bunions, heel spurs, and more – as well as the direct cause of symptoms in the rest of the body such as knee pain, hip pain, back pain and even complications in the neck and shoulders.

HyProCure® represents a real solution for flexible talotarsal displacement and its devastating effects throughout the body. It instantly corrects the problem at its root and immediately works on improving and even reversing many of the symptoms and secondary conditions resulting from this deformity. These include low arches, overpronation, plantar fasciitis or heel pain, knee pain, hip pain, back pain, and many others, both in children and adults.

Instantly following the HyProCure® procedure, the ankle bone is stabilized. The arch may be more prominent and the overall balance and alignment will be improved.

The bones, tendons and ligaments throughout the foot and the rest of the body will continue to adapt to the new position over the following several months.
