SpiralUP talo-tarsal Implant - What are the Advantages of talo-tarsal stabilization for painful flatfoot conditions.

Dr. Werber created and patented an implant to stabilize your ankle and foot, this implant is helping people walk with less pain, and allowing them to continue normal activities in their lives.

Most patients will try many options of foot treatment before they opt for a surgery. However, your podiatrist might suggest that you undergo a surgery to help reduce your chronic pain, and correct any deformities that you might have. The situation can even be more urgent for children, who need corrective surgery.

Stabilization implant surgery has become popular with surgeons around the world. Also known as talotarsal stabilization surgery, it involves inserting a cylindrical implant under your inside ankle bone called the talus, this raises the talus to raise your arch. It strengthens the arch by preventing pronation and stopping the talus (inside ankle bone) from shifting forward and down. Over time, your body tissue will grow over the implant, which reinforces it and helps it stay in place.
