The findings of a recent study on the HyProCure®
talotarsal fixation device have been published in the Journal of Foot
& Ankle Surgery (JFAS 50 (2011) 551-557). The purpose of this
research, “Radiographic Evaluation of Navicular Position in the Sagittal
Plane- Correction Following an Extra-osseous Talotarsal Stabilization
Procedure,” was to evaluate the effect of HyProCure®
on stabilizing the inner arch of the foot. A secondary question was
also answered by this study as to whether collapse of the arch occurs as
a direct result of the ankle bone (talus) dislocating on the hindfoot
bones or if it is the other way around, the ankle bone dislocates due to
the drop of the inner arch. The findings of this study showed that once
the ankle bone was repositioned back to its normal position on the heel
bone and stabilized by HyProCure®, there was
restoration of arch height. Furthermore, the correction to the inner
arch was maintained over time. The data for the study was collected by a
retrospective x-ray analysis by Dr. Michael E. Graham, podiatric
surgeon and inventor of the HyProCure® device.
