How Does a Doctor Determine if You Have Partial TaloTarsal Dislocation?

The diagnosis of partial talotarsal dislocation is best made by a foot and ankle specialist who will examine the foot with and without weight being applied, and also by watching the person walk.

Ultimately, the best way to diagnosis the presence of talotarsal displacement is through radiographic examination, which officially confirms the presence and severity of the condition.

Traditionally, most specialists will order a series of standing radiographs, that is, x-rays of the foot while the person is standing. These should be taken with the foot in its relaxed position (full weight applied) and also with the hind-foot bones in their balanced “neutral” or ideal position.

In addition, your specialist may perform further movement tests, as well as some computer-aided exams like gait pattern analysis, if deemed necessary.

All of these diagnostic methods are completely painless and non-invasive. They are safe, fast and are simple routine processes for your doctor. Make an appointment today with a HyProCure® specialist near you!

HyProCure® Recognized as the Most Powerful Minimally Invasive Procedure in Foot & Ankle Surgery

In an article published by the International Federation of Podiatrists, evidenced based medicine supports a claim regarding EOTTS with HyProCure®

HyProCure®, an extra-osseous talotarsal stabilization (EOTTS) device made by GraMedica®, a global orthopedic medical device company, is increasingly recognized worldwide as the premier treatment option for partial talotarsal dislocation. In a recent publication from The International Federation of Podiatrists (FIP), HyProCure® was distinguished as the only EOTTS device proven to restore the normal alignment of the articular facets of the talotarsal joint, thus eliminating abnormal excessive motion while preserving the normal range of motion. Dr. Bryan Bullard of Amarillo, TX, USA, described the evidence-based research behind EOTTS with HyProCure® and said it “is an incredibly powerful technique which should be in the armamentarium of any foot and ankle surgeon which deals with the life changing complications associated with chronic talotarsal displacement.”

Will HyProCure® Cure All Your Pain?

Will this implant get rid of all of the pains in my body?
No one can completely predict the outcome of any surgical procedure, but this solution will improve your entire body’s alignment, and in many cases it will even fully correct it, provided there are no other skeletal defects in other parts of the body. As a consequence, reduction and relief of many pains caused by the foot imbalance will also be reduced or eliminated. However, it is possible that some of the joints and soft tissues in the body may have already suffered irreversible wear and tear, and in those cases other treatments or procedures might be necessary. In either case, correcting the root of the problem is still essential to stopping any further damage and to allowing for any additional therapies (if necessary) to be long lasting.
