An Introduction to HyProCure.
www.HyProCure.com
What is HyProCure?
HyProCure is a titanium stent – an internal fixation device.
www.HyProCure.com
What does it do?
It maintains the alignment of the ankle bone (talus) on the hindfoot bones (calcaneus & navicular) while allowing, as much as possible, the normal amount of motion.
www.HyProCure.com
How does it do this?
There is a naturally occurring space (sinus tarsi) located between the ankle bone (talus) and heel bone (calcaneus).
www.HyProCure.com
Once the ankle bone is repositioned on the heel bone, this re-opens the space.
www.HyProCure.com
A HyProCure stent is inserted into that space (sinus tarsi) through a very small incision.
www.HyProCure.com
How does it stay there?
HyProCure is not drill into the bones, rather there are soft tissues within the space that will attach to HyProCure and hold it in place.
www.HyProCure.com
How much force is placed on it?
Actually, there is only a minimal force acting on HyProCure.
It could probably be made of glass and it will should function and hold up to daily demands.
www.HyProCure.com
Here’s why!
The forces acting on the ankle bone are redirected to the heel bone and another bone in front of the ankle bone called the navicular.
www.HyProCure.com
Here’s why!
Approximately, 97% of the forces travel through the bones and only roughly 3% acts on the HyProCure stent.

Are there any limitations after a foot has been HyProCured?
Once the tissues have attached to HyProCure, generally 4 to 6 weeks, and the tissues have healed from the procedure, there should be no limitations.
www.HyProCure.com
One very important fact!
Please make sure that both feet have been HyProCured.
There are many people who have only had one foot realigned and went back to sports without having the other foot fixed.
www.HyProCure.com
Why is this bad?It places a lot of strain on the HyProCured foot and will most likely lead to soreness and pain.
Think about balancing the tires only on one side of a car and not the other,

When placed into children’s feet, what happen when they become an adult?
The most common adult sizes are 6 and 7 (80%) then 5 & 8.
If a child already has the most common adult size, than most likely it won’t have to be replaced.

HyProCure Facts

What are the risks?
Actually, the benefits of HyProCure far exceed any potential risks.
There is a slide presentation on the
Benefit – Risk Analysis of HyProCure.
www.HyProCure.com
What are the risks? (cont’d)
Bottom line– Knee & hip joint replacements don’t have a 100%
success rate, neither does HyProCure.– HOWEVER, HyProCure has a < 7% removal rate
verses any other device placed into this space (38% to 100%).
www.HyProCure.com
What’s the worse that can happen?
It has to be removed and either a more traditional procedure could still be performed or in some cases the device was removed and the correction was maintained.
