The HyProCure® Advantage

HyProCure^® offers a superior option in the treatment of flexible talotarsal joint dislocation, for patients ages three and up. Unlike any other talotarsal mechanism stabilization device, HyProCure^® has inherent advantages that make this minimally invasive procedure the ideal solution for the vast majority patients from all walks of life.

This stent’s advanced design utilizes both the sinus and canalis portions of the sinus tarsi, yielding the best anatomical fit and biomechanical correction. These factors contribute to the low removal rate and high patient satisfaction, which in turns translates into great professional success for the physician.

Most importantly, HyProCure^® has more peer-reviewed published literature to support its claims than any other device on the market. Links to abstracts of the published literature can be found in our Library section.

Implementing HyProCure®

Getting Started with HyProCure^®:

The first step in implementing HyProCure^® into your practice is to train. This can be done through our interactive online training available at www.GraMedica.com. We also offer Lecture and Hands-on Cadaver Workshops worldwide, where you can become qualified with GraMedica^® products including HyProCure^®.

After completion of either training option, you will then be introduced to our downloads and resources, where we have many tools available to help you implement HyProCure^® into your practice.

Upon completion of training, a HyProCure^® representative will also contact you to assist with ordering the HyProCure^® system.

The HyProCure^® system consists of a set of trial sizers, the impant driver, guide wire (optional) and stents. The complete set is shipped out for each procedure and returned to us after the fact, minus the stent size used on the patient.

The kit is available for order through the facility where the procedure will be performed, or directly to the doctor’s office for in-office cases.

Heel Pain/Plantar Fasciitis Solution

There are many treatments commonly used to address plantar fasciitis, ranging from icing the area to prescription drugs and all the way to surgery, involving the partial to full release of the plantar fascia. These therapies are sometimes helpful to address the inflammation and degeneration that occurs to the plantar fascia, but all they can offer is a relief of the symptoms, which is usually temporary. The true cause of the damage in the first place is the excessive inward rotation of the foot as a direct result of talotarsal displacement. As such, until this root cause is corrected, the symptoms on the plantar fascia are bound to return and worsen.

We invite you to learn more about talotarsal displacement and about HyProCure^®, a permanent, minimally invasive solution that corrects the problem at its root.

Benefits & Alternatives to HyProCure®

The HyProCure^® solution is the best of its kind. It’s minimally-invasive, very fast and relatively atraumatic. HyProCure^® offers a permanent, yet reversible, option for the condition of partial/flexible talotarsal dislocation. HyProCure^® provides internal correction for an internal deformity.
Learn more on why HyProCure^® is better.

Aside from laterally-anchored-designed devices, which have a relatively high removal rate, several other alternatives are still being used to treat the condition. Some common options include orthotics, leg braces, orthopedic shoes, physical therapy, and even reconstructive rear foot surgery, among other things. These alternate methods ultimately fail to give the patient a reliable, life-long answer, and often cause more problems than solutions. All this in turn ends up in unsatisfied patients and frustrated doctors.

Indications and Contra-Indications for HyProCure®

HyProCure^® is a talotarsal stabilization device used in the treatment of talotarsal displacement and resulting sequela. The implant is designed to stabilize the talus on the tarsal mechanism to prevent excessive anterior, and/or medial and/or plantarflexion of the talus on the tarsal mechanism, while allowing normal talotarsal joint motion.

osteo-WEDGETM Bunion Correction

Traditional bunion corrective surgical techniques are like cutting a wedge out of the leaning tower of Pisa to make it straight when the real problem was with the foundation. The osteo-WEDGE_TM Open Wedge Bone Locking System fixes the deformity at its foundation. With osteo-WEDGE_TM, patients and foot surgeons have a new option for permanent correction, without the limitations of other methods. The procedure is less invasive and patient should experience a quicker recovery than they would with the alternates.

TaloTarsal Displacement: Clinical Signs

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.
