There are risks and potential complications with any surgical procedure, even with a minor procedure. There are also many risks and even worse complications that can occur if you chose to forego treatment. This ebook below was written to help a potential HyProCure® recipient to understand both the benefits and potential risks.
Each patient and every foot presents a unique set of potential challenges. That is why it is very important that you seek guidance from a qualified foot surgeon.

Natural Progression

The partial dislocation of the ankle bone on the heel bone will never fix itself. It requires physical intervention. If it’s ignored many other potential problems will occur.

• Foot and ankle complications
• Musculoskeletal chain effects
• Overall health
• Economic factors
• Emotion/Psychologic factors

Foot and Ankle Complications

• Increased forces acting on the inner arch.
• This results in increased strain to
• • spring ligament
  • Posterior tibial tendon
  • Medial band of the plantar fascia
  • Tibialis posterior nerve
  • Increased pressures within the tarsal tunnel.
• Symptoms will develop at the weakest link of the tissue-chain.

A misaligned, over-pronating hindfoot is the leading factor for the development of:

• Heel pain/plantar fasciosis
• Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
• Growing pains/Shin splints
• Plantar neuropathy
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome
• Bunions/hallux limitus/ridigus
• Hammertoes
• Abnormal pressure to the ball of the foot, callus formation

Effects to the Rest of the Body

• Ankle bone displaces on the heel bone;
• This forces the lower leg bones (tibia/fibula) to turn inward,
• This strains the inner knee.
• The head of the thigh bone (femur) is pulled from the hip (leg length discrepancy),
• This forces the pelvis to tilts,
• This places a stain/torsion on the back,
• This leads to shoulders tilt/strain,
• And can negatively affect the neck.

General Health

If a part of your body hurts as a result of being active, you decrease your activity level.

This leads to weight gain and obesity.

Obesity leads to multitude of various medical conditions.

The leading recommendation to many of the secondary diseases related to obesity is to exercise.

This leads to a downward spiral.

Benefits of EOTTS Treatment

• Internal option – does not rely on patient compliance (arch support, brace, shoes)
• Extra-osseous – does not involve bone surgery
• Minimally invasive, soft tissue procedure
• Can be performed as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with other procedures.
• EOTTS devices are reversible, they can be removed with minimal effort.

• Scientifically proven to realign and stabilize the hindfoot.
• EOTTS can normal the joint forces of the hindfoot.
• EOTTS should help give patients back their quality of life.

• Stabilization of the ankle bone
• Restores the normal motion to the ankle bone
• Redistributes the forces acting on the foot
• Decreases the excessive strain on the soft tissue
• Patients are able to be more active
• Will be positive affects to the knee
• Rebalance the pelvis
• Decreased strain to the back
