Hyprocure Procedure

The HyProCure® Procedure

The HyProCure® procedure is minimally invasive and is typically done in 20-minutes or less. It is often performed in an outpatient setting under a twilight sleep or local sedation.

HyProCure® is placed in the naturally occurring space between your bones to instantly realign and stabilize the hindfoot. HyProCure® will not penetrate or be implanted into your bones.

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.

Recovery

Most HyProCured patients are back to normal walking within a few weeks, but this may vary from patient to patient based on their prior physical condition.  The bones, tendons and ligaments throughout the foot and rest of the body will adapt to the corrected position over the following several months.
