HyProCure® - A Real Solution for TaloTarsal Displacement

HyProCure®, a Type II Extra-Osseous TaloTarsal Stabilization (EOTTS) device, has become the leading solution for patients suffering with the symptoms and secondary conditions resulting from partial talotarsal dislocation. The condition is a foot imbalance that throws both the foot and the entire body out of alignment. It affects people of all ages and is often the direct or contributing cause of overpronation, bunions, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip pain, back pain and even problems in the neck and shoulders.

The device is placed deep into the canalis portion of the sinus tarsi, reestablishing the normal pivot over which the talus (ankle bone) glides, thereby properly realigning the foot and ankle bones and restoring normal function. Via a minimally invasive procedure, the HyProCure® device instantly stabilizes the hindfoot bones, stopping the continued trauma to the foot and body, and even possibly leading to the reversal of associated conditions.  HyProCure® represents a real solution for talotarsal displacement and its devastating effects throughout the body.

Misaligned Feet May be Causing Your Back pain

Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in people of all ages. There are many types of back pain, affecting different parts of the back in different ways and with varying intensity.

Our entire body’s alignment rests in the rear of the foot, in the area between the ankle and the heel bone. A healthy balance of these hindfoot bones is crucial to keep a balanced body alignment and a healthy posture. When partial talotarsal dislocation occurs, the alignment between the ankle bone and the hindfoot bones is lost. This causes the rear-foot to rotate inward, and forces the front of the foot to turn outward. These faulty foot mechanics cause an imbalance of forces and weight distribution throughout the entire body.

Will I feel the implant in my foot?

No. As long as the implant does not displace, you should not be able to feel HyProCure® after the procedure. Sometimes for the first few months a hard substance may be felt in the area of the surgery. This is scar tissue and should dissipate after several months, if present at all.

Mother of Two Fixes her Misaligned Feet to get Back in Action

Vanessa Wanshop believed that the options to correct her “flat feet” were worse than just continuing to suffer. After conservative treatment did not help her foot pain, Wanshop thought her only other option was major reconstructive surgery on both of her feet. As a 41 year old active mother of two children, she opted out. “I'm involved in a lot of activities,"she said. "Sitting at home for months at a time just wasn't an option for me." However, when her husband met Jess Drezner, DPM at a social event, they learned about a revolutionary alternative.

Vanessa Wanshop and her surgeon, Dr. Drezner, shared their experiences before and after her HyProCure® procedure in a recent article published by the Reading Eagle Press, which serves the Berks County, PA community and surrounding areas.
More of Vanessa's story available here.

23-year-old HyProCure® Patient


“I have worn orthotics in my shoes since the age of 6 and have experienced continually worsened chronic foot, ankle, knee, hip and back pain. I had never realized that orthotics were simply a “Band-Aid” solution – then I heard about HyProCure®…

This has been a life-changing surgery for me. My knee pain has disappeared completely, and my hip is no longer sore and causing me to limp. I feel better every day as my body adjusts to its new alignment – I am SO excited to be free of my chronic pain, and to be walking normally for the first time in my life, at the age of 23.

I am SO THANKFUL for this surgery, and would recommend it to anyone experiencing chronic pain from flat feet!!!”

Fix Foot Pain at It's Root with the HyProCure® Solution

HyProCure® represents a real solution for talotarsal displacement and its devastating effects throughout the body. It instantly corrects the problem at its root and immediately works on improving and even reversing many of the symptoms and secondary conditions resulting from this deformity. These include flat feet, overpronation/hyperpronation, plantar fasciitis (heel pain), knee pain, hip pain, back pain and many others, both in children and adults.

In order to understand this breakthrough solution, let’s first take a look at the problem. Partial talotarsal dislocation occurs when the ankle bone (talus) displaces off of its natural alignment with the calcaneus (a hindfoot bone) and/or the navicular (a midfoot bone). As a result of this abnormal motion, the natural space between these three bones, called the sinus tarsi, collapses. The sinus tarsi is at the apex of the foot’s ability to distribute weight and motion evenly. When it collapses, the foot twists into an unnatural position and shape, creating an imbalance throughout the entire body.

HyProCure® is an internal stabilization device that is placed inside the foot, into the collapsing space. It acts as a stent to keep the space in its natural, open position. Immediately upon placement, the ankle and hindfoot bones will be situated into their proper alignment. The procedure instantly stabilizes and re-aligns the hindfoot, which in turn also helps to correct the imbalances created in the rest the body.

The HyProCure® device is simply pushed into place. There is no drilling or screwing involved. Thanks to its unique, anatomical design, the HyProCure® device slides right into its natural corrective placement. The tissues inside the space will attach and hold it in place during the healing process.

The procedure is minimally invasive and is usually performed under local anesthesia or twilight sedation. The time to full recovery for all associated symptoms varies from patient to patient. Typically, most patients are back to normal walking within a few weeks.

Understanding Knee Pain: The Foot Connection



The knee is a very complex joint with many functions, including bending, straightening, twisting and rotating. It is comprised of bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage that have to work in proper balance and synchronicity in order to meet the intense demands placed upon them.

There are many reasons for knee pain, but they can all be classified into three main groups. The first one is accident or injury, which happens as a consequence of impact or forceful action in the area. The second one is hereditary malfunction, which involves abnormal development of one or more of the tissues that comprise the knee structure. And the third and by far most common one is damage or deformity caused by improper motion due to leg misalignment. In this last case, both the source of the problem and the solution can be found in a faulty foot structure, due to a very common condition called partial talotarsal dislocation.

The treatments available to address knee pain range from creams and massages to complex surgeries and everything in-between. However, for the majority of patients who suffer from knee pain as a consequence of a leg misalignment, any of these treatments will only address the symptoms and will not resolve the real cause of their problem. Any permanent solution for these patients needs to include addressing the source of the abnormal forces acting on the structures of the knee, namely the excessive motion of the ankle bone on the hindfoot bones. Until the underlying cause for these conditions is addressed, the problems are bound to reappear and continue to worsen.

We invite you to learn more about your knee pain, about talotarsal dislocation and about HyProCure®, a permanent, minimally invasive solution that corrects the problem at its root.

Plantar Fasciitis/Heel Pain

Plantar fasciitis is primarily caused by excessive hindfoot motion, which is a direct consequence of partial talotarsal dislocation, a misalignment of the ankle bone on the hindfoot bones. This abnormal and excessive motion of the rear-foot causes the plantar fascia to over-stretch, eventually creating the micro-ruptures that lead to the painful tearing, inflammation and resulting pain.
