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.

Common misconceptions: Flat feet are harmless and there's nothing wrong with them.

Unfortunately, flat feet are not harmless and they do present a number of complex issues with balance and weight distribution. The loss of the arch is not just an aesthetic variation, but rather a symptom of the loss of proper alignment of the internal structures of the foot due to talotarsal dislocation. The foot’s normal balance is broken and the bones get rearranged and misaligned. This creates a weakened foot prone to pain and discomfort, which often leads to other issues both in the foot itself, as well as in the rest of the body. Although it may take years to develop symptoms or secondary conditions from talotarsal dislocation, it is very important to take preventative measures. Take a car’s alignment, for example. If the car’s alignment is off, it seems to make no difference at first. But after a number of miles driven it takes a toll on the tires with an uneven wear pattern. Eventually, after continued driving, it will ruin and shorten the lives of the tires, as well as compromise other mechanical parts. Most sensible drivers and mechanics know this, and we don’t think twice about aligning our tires if there’s a need. In the same way, if our feet are out of alignment, preventative measures must be taken as early as possible to stop the damage that comes as a consequence.

What is TaloTarsal Displacement?

The most common reason for misaligned feet is partial talotarsal dislocation, or talotarsal displacement. This condition affects people of all ages. It occurs when the ankle bone displaces off of its normal position and its contact points on the hindfoot bones — in other words, when the balance of the ankle bone on the heel bone is lost. This creates an abnormal, inward rotation of the ankle bone and outer rotation of the rest of the foot, which in turn creates a fundamental imbalance of forces and weight distribution in the foot and also in the rest of the body.

When partial talotarsal dislocation occurs, it creates a damaging misalignment of forces in the foot, as well as throughout the entire body. This is because the rear-foot is the center point of our body’s balance and weight distribution during walking and standing. As a consequence, talotarsal displacement can be the direct cause of numerous symptoms and secondary conditions, including fallen arches (flat feet), plantar fasciitis (heel pain), overpronation/hyperpronation, bunions, heel spurs, knee pain, hip pain, back pain and even complications in the neck and shoulders.

Talotarsal displacement will not resolve on its own, patients don’t grow out of it and it’s not possible to reverse it through exercise or physical therapies. Without properly addressing partial talotarsal dislocation as the root of the problem, treatment of these secondary conditions will only be a temporary fix. The adverse side effects will most likely reoccur or simply shift to another part of the body.

HyProCure^® represents a real solution for many patients suffering from the devastating effects resulting from talotarsal displacement, and a real opportunity to improve their quality of life.
