No pain whatsover, and I can wear 2 inch heel dress shoes besides tennis shoes
How has HyProCure® improved your life?:
Back in Sept,, 2013 before having HyProCure, I couldn’t even walk a city block due to so much subtalar joint pain of left foot. My Talus bone had been subluxing to the point of creating a non-displaced fracture on the underside of the bone. Neither a chiropractor or physical therapist could keep it stable with extensive amounts of taping, bracing, orthotics and then some. I found one of your Master Surgeons on your website and went to Dr. David Gent in Bremerton, Wa 8 hrs away from me in Idaho and he sincerely looked outside of the box to help me. My foot was stuck in a rigid supinated position. Yet with proof in x-rays that when my ankle was adjusted by a chiropractor, I really did pronate but my walking on my foot would end up supinating and wedging the talus out of position. I had one prior high ankle sprain in 2010. So after 8 weeks of healing the fracture in the talus bone by being NWB, I immediately went into surgery for the HyProCure when the fracture was healed per CT Scan. No complications and walking within a week, then I did the surgery again 12 weeks later for my right foot. With both balanced feet, I was able to retrain my legs, hips because I already had surgery prior for my sacroiliac joints-bilateral fixation. Also with balanced feet I was then able to discover that I had Gastroc Equinus in both legs that was also causing flexion of my hips. So put all of it together, and now 4 yrs past all the surgeries I run on an eliptical machine and walk beautifully. HyProCure has been so a wonderful part of fixing my entire body that was rooted in Malalignment Syndrome caused from years of an undiagnosed anatomical limb length discrepancy. Your product fixed me and I was certainly an out of the box case as I didn’t have any PTTD or excessive pronation issues. I was one foot-supinated and one foot mildly pronated. Had I not been stabilized in my feet, I may not have discovered how tight my Gastrocs were too.Read the whole story!
What would you say to a friend or family member who was curious about HyProCure®?:
I would tell them to consider this surgery especially if orthotics are not working for them and/or they have sacroiliac joint issues. I have promoted your product through my own personal blog/website: http://si-instability.com/hyprocure-surgery/What has pleased you most about your experience with HyProCure®?:
It is the most minimally invasive foot surgery procedure with profound results. There were no answers for me to fix my foot except for your product. It took me 5 foot doctors to get to one of your trained doctors.What was your life like before HyProCure®?:
I was in daily pain with my left ankle/foot and I couldn’t walk anymore than the needed necessities of life. The chronic subluxed Talus bone created its own fracture from not being centered and stable over my calcaneous. The position of my Talus also caused problems with my Distal Tib-Fib joint and I had pain up my syndesmosis and every muscle was hypertonic in my lower leg trying to stabilize my joints.What made you choose to go forward with the procedure?:
I had complete confidence in studying all of your websites and published research that I needed this for my foot. I sought out your company and list of doctors since I was getting nowhere with the prior foot doctors. When I met Dr. Gent, at Kitsap Foot & Ankle Clinic, it was a match made in Heaven. He had complete confidence that he could help me with your product. He did 2 HyProCure surgeries then I latter had a revision on each foot to downsize the stent from a 6 to a 5 in each foot. And he then did the Endoscopic Gastroc recession surgeries and Ankle Arthrex Tib-Fib fixation. He gave me my life back with my lower legs/ankles/feet.What are the most significant changes you have noticed since having HyProCure®?:
My feet are completely neutral with full ROM and the alignment of my tibias to my femurs are excellent. No pain whatsover, and I can wear 2 inch heel dress shoes besides tennis shoes. I can walk 2 miles, run a mile on eliptical and work out. I went back to downhill skiing and roler skating. Something I couldn’t say before the surgeries. But I will say, I did need the Gastroc Equinus Endoscopic Recession surgeries to complete the journey with my lower legs. Combining both surgeries bilaterally, completely changed how my legs and hips function for the better.Additional notes/comments:
See my website on the subject of HyProCure that documents my journey, surgical photos, rehab etc http://si-instability.com/hyprocure-surgery/I would suggest HyProCure because it is less invasive then by example triple arthrodesis.
I had the surgery January 3, 2020 in Hannover-Germany. So its to early now to say how it has improved my life…I hope it works! I am very excited. And when the results are great I will go for the left ankle. I would suggest HyProCure because it is less invasive then by example triple arthrodesis. The surgery is very short and rehabilitation is much quicker than with any other surgery for the ankle. Before HyProCure, I had always pain in legs, ankle, feet, hips, knees and back. After some walking, always tired legs. I hope that the HyProCure will come to Holland soon!My feet are very rarely sore and I have no limitations.
Dr. Graham,
I doubt you would remember me as I was a patient of yours 15 years ago. I just wanted to reach out and thank you for the great work you had done long ago. At the time, I was 17 years old, flat-footed, and already had some deterioration of my knees/hips (I believe that’s correct). Anyway, you operated on both of my feet at the same time (which you said you’d never do again – although it was a good experience for me). About a week or so later I was up and walking normally. I know at the time the procedure was somewhat new and experimental, but I am in great shape 15 years later and couldn’t be happier. My feet are very rarely sore and I have no limitations.
Thank you again, glad to hear you are still doing great work for others.
Sincerely,
I would never want to go back to the way I was!
I have had collapsed arches all my life. I would wear orthotics, but they were hard and uncomfortable to stand on for long periods. During summer my feet would hurt in sandals and flip flops. It got so bad that if I stood for 5 minutes without orthotics I would be in pain from my feet all the way up to my knees. It affected doing so many things in my life. Shoes were hard to buy and certain jobs I’d be afraid to take due to having to stand so long. Finally one day while searching any surgeries available I came across HyProCure implants. I found a doctor close that did the surgery and went for a consultation. I happened to be pregnant at the time. She said I was a great candidate, but would of course have to wait until after I had my daughter. A year later I came back and had both my feet done in two separate surgeries. It changed my life forever. My feet are 95% better then they were. I can walk, stand and do intense workout with no foot pain. I take a barre class in socks that there is no way I could have done prior to surgery. I’m way more active then I once was. I don’t fear going shoe shopping as I once did. I can stand for long periods, so being afraid to take a job is now non existent. It changed my life for the better and I am truly grateful. If you have collapsed arches look into it! The surgeries they had prior for fixing feet were super invasive and there’s no way I could have ever been out for 4 months. With this surgery I had no pain and the recovery time was fast! I would do the surgery ten times over if I had to. I would never want to go back to the way I was.HyProCure didn’t just improve my life — it SAVED my life!
I had no idea my stinky misaligned feet were the cause of my constant, never-ending, never going away, upper back pain, lower back pain, center back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, neck pain,knee pain, and the absolute worst — spinal pain – grit your teeth kinda pain. I’d get to the top of a flight of steps and my legs would be so sore just from climbing that flight; I’d have to pause a minute. I would get in bed every night, and my back would be on fire. I would just hurt, all over. As soon as I woke up from the anesthesia after the HyProCure surgery, in my sleepy haze, I immediately noticed something was different — I felt normal; my pain — ALL of my pain — was gone, and for the first time in my life, I felt as though I’d hit the lottery. When my podiatrist came in post-op to reassure me everything had gone perfectly, I immediately began to bawl my eyes out because I didn’t hurt anymore. HyProCure IS the cure for misaligned feet — this little Titanium stent will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!HyProCure should be on display in the office of every podiatrist and orthopedic surgeon!
I began to experience ankle pain at the age of 13. By the time I was in college, chronic ankle pain was a part of my daily life. As I began to enter my early 20’s, the pain became so severe it began limiting my daily activities. When I started relying on motorized scooters to get around the grocery store, I knew it was past time to do something about my pain. First, I saw a podiatrist who referred me to an orthopedic surgeon and I had my first MRI. That doctor told me there was nothing wrong with me, and I should lose weight. Frustrated, I requested a copy of my MRI report directly from the hospital. The report pointed to inflammation in my sinus tarsi, and suggested sinus tarsi syndrome. I went to a 2nd orthopedic surgeon who gave me a cortisone shot, and then another. In frustration, I searched for a well known and highly trained orthopedic surgeon at a university hospital. I went for my 2nd MRI. The results? There was nothing to be done about my chronic pain. There was no cure and no treatment. Understandably upset with this news, my 3rd orthopedic surgeon suggested I go back to my general practitioner to talk about depression. Feeling that my doctors had let me down, and knowing in my heart that there had to be a better option out there for me- I began to scour the internet for potential treatments. That’s when I discovered HyProCure. There were no doctors in my state that offered the device, and so I made the 2.5 hour drive out to a neighboring state to find a doctor that did. I am endlessly glad that I did. I never had surgery before, so I was reluctant to agree to the procedure. The surgery itself was fast. Within a couple of hours, I was ready to go home. It took me about two weeks before I was able to begin walking again. Within a few weeks, my pain was gone. HyProCure was just that- the cure to my chronic ankle pain. For the first time since I was a child, I could walk pain free. I had become so used to chronic pain that it wasn’t until that pain was gone that I understood how bad my pain had been. I had literally forgotten what it felt like to be without pain- and thanks to HyProCure, I got a new lease on life. I regained confidence in my every day activities and began participating in activities I had previously avoided like going for walks and attending fairs and festivals. For years, I suffered in silence- and when I finally began to speak up, my doctors let me down. Thankfully, I took charge of my own health and discovered HyProCure. HyProCure should be on display in the office of every podiatrist and orthopedic surgeon. Everyone suffering from chronic ankle pain should know about HyProCure. It changed my life, and I’m sure there are many more people out there suffering with chronic pain who have yet to discover the cure.It changes life forever!
So lovely to see and know that everything went fine with our wonderful Dr. Joe! A “simple” procedure that doesn’t take more than 30 minutes in local stunning and it changes life forever.The procedure was minimally invasive
Could not be happier with Dr. Ahn and the HyProCure surgery he performed on my 10-year old son. The surgeries went great and my son experienced no pain post surgery. The procedure was minimally invasive. The procedures were performed on my son’s respective feet on June 12, 2017 and July 23, 2017. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the surgery and the improvement my son has had in mobility, strength, athleticism etc.The results have been nothing short of spectacular!
I had HyProCure stents surgically implanted in both ankles and Dr. Greenberg and his team were professional, supportive and compassionate. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, to answer my questions and to offer advice. The results have been nothing short of spectacular. My plantar fasciitis is all but gone, my back and knee pain have disappeared. Even this short time after the procedures, I can walk without pain much farther than I could ever have walked before. Dr. Greenberg and his fabulous staff have given me back the ability to run and walk and do yoga again!Jørn is able to walk much better now
Our son Jørn has Dravet Syndrome and because of this he walked on the inside of the sole of the foot. As parents we saw that it became more and more painful for Jørn to walk and he became more bent at the knees. After [HyProCure] Jørn is able to walk much better now and he does not hurt to walk around. His back is also more corrected when he is upright. We recommend this to anyone who needs the surgery.Anna-Lena’s walking has improved a lot!
Everything went well and Dr. Picciotti did really good work. Before the surgery we were very skeptical about having it and we tried to help Anna-Lena’s feet with other treatments and orthotics, but after half a year of treatments we saw we were not quite successful. We were able to talk to another child who had the surgery a couple of months ago and then we decided to do it. Two days after surgery Anna-Lena didn’t have any pain and we could stop giving her pain killers. Altogether we have to say it was quite a good decision to do the [HyProCure] surgery, although we were very skeptical in the beginning. Anna-Lena’s walking has improved a lot, she is much more safe while walking and her feet, especially her arch, is much better!I look forward to walking pain free!
I sought out Dr. Berman after many friends told me to go to Somers Orthopedics. I have two flat feet and was in a lot of pain. He implanted a HyProCure in one foot with great results and I just got the other one done along with a Kidner Procedure. From day one he has always looked for the least invasive procedure to gain the best results and increased quality of life. I look forward to walking pain free!This was by far the easiest thing to have my feet feel better!
I had HyProCure done 7 months ago and it was the best thing that happened to me. I had gone through orthotics, fasica release on both feet, physical therapy, splints, cortisone shots, tape….and this was by far the easiest thing to have my feet feel better!Good Bye Magic Shoes your time has served me well.
Today is a brand new milestone for me. I have officially said goodbye to my Magic Shoes. Today I am a new person with two brand new arches in my feet thanks to Dr. Rui DeMelo and Stamford Podiatry Group and HyProCure. I endured my entire life with flat feet accompanied by pain in multiple joints and constant back pain. My feet and ankles would literally destroy any brace that wasn’t strong enough to correct its position and then find a flaw in the new brace and destroy that one too. I think I’ve been through 10 generations of ankle braces before finding the proper design. They say if you want to know where someone has been, just look at their shoes. My feet have stood through 10 hour shifts working in the kitchen, handling Cookie Monster in the Thanksgiving Parade 3 times and even climbed the volcano Mount Etna in Sicily. They have carried my wife through the front door on our wedding night and flew my son through the living room like Superman. I’m looking forward to no more pain. I’m looking forward to walking on the sand without sneakers and leaving a footprint. I’m looking forward to having defined calf muscles. I’m looking forward to see where my feet will guide me next. Sincerely, Happy patient
