Q. What happens to a pediatric patient when they mature and their bones grow to their adult size, will we need to revise the HyProCure® stent size?
A. By the time a child is 3 to 4 years old the sinus tarsi is formed by the osseous structures from the talus and calcaneus. It is my belief that the sinus tarsi does not change in its dimensions (yet to be proven). This is based on the fact the most common HyProCure® size is 7 then 6 in adult patients. So, if a child already has a size 6 or 7, then they already have the most common adult size stent.
