Stabilization with HyProCure Implant


Arthroereisis implants for subtalar joint instability have become a fast and reliable procedure for foot and ankle surgeons. Dr. Michael Graham, DPM of the Graham International Implant Institute has released a paper this month (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 101(5): 390-399, 2011) on his findings with the implant in a 5 limb cadaveric study. In measuring the forces distributed across the posterior and anterior facets of the subtalar joint, Dr. Graham concluded that placement of the implant in a hyperpronated foot prevents excessive talar subluxation and assists in proper distribution of the axial loads on the subtalar facet joints. More information on the HyProCure implant can be found here. All availble Subtalar Joint Implants / Arthroereisis can be seen here, at www.FootandAnkleFixation.com
