DESCRIPTION
Nationwide wide, the costs to treat Musculoskeletal (MSK) Disorders continues to grow at a rapid rate. The costs include far more than just a dollar value - they include costs in terms of health and well being, time lost from work and more. As MSK Disorders stem largely from one common underlying cause, there is a better way to treat them then by simply treating the symptoms alone. Learn how treating talotarsal joint dislocation using EOTTS with HyProCure can offer a better solution for MSK Disorders such as knee, hip and back pain while saving money at personal and national levels.

Economic Impact of Misaligned feet.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) Disorders
What is the LEADING CAUSE of disability in the United States?
Right Now:
of persons 18 years old and older are affected.
of people over 50 years of age are affected.
60% higher rate of circulatory conditions
More than 2x the number of chronic
respiratory conditions
Chronic Musculoskeletal Conditions Cause:
110,340,000 individuals sought medical treatment for a
musculoskeletal disease.
In 2008:
It’s Going To Get Worse!
= How Much Money?
The sum of the direct health care costs and indirect expenditures in lost wages for treating MSK disorders was estimated at:
A.) $499 millionB.) $1 billionC.) $101 billionD.) $498 billionE.) $849 billion
In 2004 . . .
+ Lost Wages
Direct Health Care Costs
E.) $849 billion
The Answer . . .
$576,000,000,00000
Direct Costs of MSK Disorders
What is the #1 MSK-Related Complaint?
In 2008, there were 62,000,000 adults who complained of back pain.
The BACK!
39,000,000 adults complain of knee pain/symptoms
The Knee also Generates Many MSK-Related Complaints
Reported that they had difficulty performing routine daily activities without assistance, due to their musculoskeletal complaints.
17,000,000 Adults over18 Years of Age . . .
Assistance
Needed
What is the #1 complication of the “treatment” of MSK
disorders?
RECURRRANCE of the
same condition
#1 Complication of MSK Disorders:
Usually offers temporary relief
Just “buys time” until surgery is required
Is extremely expensive & time consuming
Non-Surgical MSK Treatment
Also an expensive option
Typically, involves a radical surgery
Lengthy recovery & convalescence
Lots of potential risks and complications
Surgical Treatment of MSK Disorders
What is the long term success rate of: Back surgery? Hip replacement?
But the story continues . . .
In 10-15 years
it has to be repeated!
Knee replacement?
Why has the medical community failed?
To answer this question,
we have to ask another question:
How Do We Break This Vicious Cycle??
MSK Symptom
“Conservative Care”
Temporary Relief
Recurrence of MSK
Symptom
More Conservative
Care
No Relief
“Conservative Care” Cycle
Chronic MSK
Symptom
“Surgical Care”
Temporary Relief
Recurrence of MSK
Symptom
Revision Surgery
“Surgical Care” Cycle
That’s because the general
medical community has
rather than . . .
They are focused on the treatment of the
symptoms
…elimination of the underlying cause!
Typically, more expensive than the primary surgery
Procedures take longer, more invasive Subject to higher complication rates Involves a longer recovery period
Cost of Revision Surgery
Indirect Costs of MSK Disorders
A 2008 study analyzed the number of adult patients with back pain and how many days of work were lost:
There were a total of 671.1 million days in bed due to back pain.
385 million work days lost.
50% of the participants said their back pain led to complete inactivity.
Playing with your children and/or grandchildren.
Participation in the activities you love
Being singled out as a child because you “lack athletic ability”
Psychological impact
Quality of Life CostsYou Can’t Put A Price Tag On . . .
MSK Disorders Lead to a Sedentary Lifestyle, then Secondary Problems
People with MSK disorders
are punished for being active.
Increased
activity leads to increased pain.
So they decrease
their activity level.Less
activity leads to decrease

Decreased
metabolism leads
to increase

Obesity leads to: Diabetes Hypertension Coronary artery
disease Certain forms of
cancer
Overweight - Obesity
There are no cures but the #1 recommendations for all patients with these diseases is to…
Costs Associated With
Diabetes: $245 BILLION
Hypertension: $55 BILLION
Coronary artery disease:
$108 BILLION
Obesity $210 BILLION
Walk/Exercise!
It’s time to: Get To The Root Of The Problem & Look At The
Foundation Of The Human Body . . .
The Foot!
How many clinicians who examine patients with chronic neck, back, hip or knee pain…
…get their patient off the exam table to evaluate the alignment/misalignment of their feet?
We Need to Look Closer!
The talotarsal joint is the foundational joint of the up-right human body.
“Foundational Joint” of the Body
The alignment or misalignment of the TTJ dictates the alignment or misalignment of the
Ankle Knee Hip
Talotarsal Joint (TTJ) ALIGNMENT
Pelvis Spine Neck
Ankle bone displacement leads to
a misaligned hindfoot.
Foundation of the body is altered!
Options are: Arch supports Reconstructive hindfoot surgery Minimally invasive, extra-osseous
stabilization
Depends on the severity of the TTJD and co-existing deformities.
How can you realign the TTJ?
Arch supports cannot
realign the hindfoot
joints/bones.
Is this really necessary?
Ouch!
There has to be a better option!
Minimally invasive, extra-osseous stabilization
is a titanium stent that is placed into a naturally occurring space between the ankle and heel bones.
Instantly, the ankle bone is realigned and stabilized while allowing normal hindfoot joint range of motion.
Quick facts:• More than 36,000 devices used• 10 years of clinical use• Used by foot surgeons in more than 40 countries• Pediatric and adult indications• Greatest success rate of any EOTTS stent• Backed by scientific research/evidenced based
Arch support vs HyProCure®
Patient standing on their custom-molded arch support. No Correction/realignment.
Patient standing on their foot after HyProCure®. Notice the correction/realignment.
Which foot has been HyProCured?
Economic burden of MSK disease continues to grow at an enormous pace.
Misaligned feet could be theunderlying cause / missing piece to the puzzle.
We need to get involved in research to prove that we can make a positive difference.
