We talk a lot about HyProCure® being a minimally invasive procedure. It’s typically done in 20-minutes or less and is often performed in an outpatient setting. But what does minimally invasive actually mean?
A minimally invasive technique means that the surgery is performed by making a very small incision no larger than the tip of a needle that causes significantly less trauma to your foot than traditional surgery.
How is HyProCure Minimally Invasive?
HyProCure will not penetrate or be implanted into your bones, instead, it is placed in the naturally occurring space between your bones to instantly realign and stabilize the hindfoot. It works differently than other treatment options, which is what makes it so effective. It is placed into a naturally-occurring space in between the ankle bone and heel bone through a small incision below the outer ankle bone. There are no pins, screws or drills required.
Once placed, it will then allow normal joint range of motion and weight distribution of your body on your feet. Many times HyProCure is performed as a stand-alone, single procedure. However, due to the complex nature of the foot, there may be additional surgical procedures that must also be performed in order to realign or stabilize other parts of the foot.
