Failed treatment: Older implant technologies

It has been known for a few decades that the root of the problem with flat feet and the cause of all the symptoms is the collapse of the natural space between the ankle and heel bones. This space is called the sinus tarsi, and it acts as the center balance point of the foot and of the entire body. When it collapses, everything is thrown off balance.

Just as the problem was identified all those years ago, so was the theory behind the solution: Reopen the collapsed space and restore it back to its naturally intended position. Many techniques were tried, including bone grafts to push open the space, synthetic adaptations that would screw into the heel bone, and then, first generation flat foot implants.

All of these methods ultimately failed as a universally accepted solution to treat practically all cases. The problems ranged from the grafts being reabsorbed by the bone to the devices actually breaking and/or wearing out over time.

The first promising solution was first generation flat foot implants. They addressed the problem in a way that made much more sense in principle. However, due to limitations in availability of materials and to design flaws, the success ratio and long term efficacy of these implants ended up being very poor, with overly extensive recovery times.

Finally, HyProCure was introduced. It represents a new generation of flat foot implants or "stents," and is the first solution to offer a near perfect success ratio and long term efficacy. It is the product of high-tech design and cutting-edge materials, making possible a solution that corrects the flat foot problem at its root with near-perfect success rates and minimal discomfort.
