What Is HyProCure®?

HyProCure® is a device that our podiatrists use to stabilize the inside of your foot. It acts as a stent to keep the inside space in a normal and open position. Following the procedure, your ankle and rear foot bones are correctly aligned. The stent lasts forever, though a foot doctor can remove it anytime. Athletes love HyProCure® because it helps get them back into the game quickly.

How Does the Procedure Work & Feel?

Unlike a stressful surgery, HyProCure® enables you to get in and out and recover quickly. First, one of our podiatrists will put you under local anesthesia or twilight sedation so that you never go entirely under the way you may with other surgeries. Then, the HyProCure® device is inserted through a small incision and slides right into place. Your foot tissues will naturally attach to the device as you heal to hold it in place.

Unlike traditional surgery, HyProCure® means no scar tissue or return of the pain. You will not need to go to the hospital for overnight observation. Instead of asking you to remain inactive for a month or more, with HyProCure, you will only need to limit your walking to just three-five days. After that, you may increase your activity level until you feel completely normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HyProCure?

HyProCure is a small titanium stent placed in the natural space between the ankle and heel bones. It is designed to help stabilize excessive inward foot movement and improve alignment.

What foot problems can HyProCure address?

HyProCure may be considered for flexible flat feet, excessive pronation and related discomfort affecting the feet, ankles, knees or lower legs. A complete examination is needed to determine whether these symptoms are related to improper foot alignment.

How does the HyProCure procedure work?

Dr. Vargas places the HyProCure stent through a small incision near the ankle. The device helps prevent excessive movement between the ankle and heel bones while allowing the foot to retain its natural range of motion.

Is HyProCure considered surgery?

Yes. HyProCure is a minimally invasive procedure, but it still involves placing a medical device inside the foot. Dr. Vargas will explain the procedure, anesthesia options, possible risks and expected recovery before treatment.

Who may be a candidate for HyProCure?

Candidates may include patients with flexible flat feet or excessive pronation who continue to experience symptoms despite conservative treatment. Eligibility depends on foot structure, symptoms, health history and treatment goals.

How long does recovery take after HyProCure?

Recovery varies between patients. Walking and activity may be limited during the initial healing period, followed by a gradual return to normal activities according to Dr. Vargas’s instructions.

Can the HyProCure stent be removed?

Yes. The HyProCure stent can be removed if it causes persistent discomfort or if removal becomes medically necessary. Dr. Vargas will evaluate your symptoms before recommending another procedure.

Will I still need custom orthotics after HyProCure?

Some patients may continue to benefit from custom orthotics depending on their foot structure, activity level and remaining support needs. Dr. Vargas will determine whether orthotics should remain part of your treatment plan.

What are the possible risks of HyProCure?

Possible risks may include temporary pain, swelling, stiffness, infection, implant movement or ongoing discomfort. Individual risks and expected outcomes should be discussed with Dr. Vargas before proceeding.

HyProCure Treatment in Sugar Land, TX

Rearfoot misalignment can affect how the entire foot functions when you stand and walk. Over time, this may contribute to foot fatigue, arch discomfort, heel pain, and strain affecting the ankles, knees, or other joints.

Vargas Foot Specialists provides HyProCure treatment in Sugar Land, TX, for eligible patients with excessive inward foot rotation or structural instability. HyProCure is a minimally invasive procedure designed to help stabilize and realign the rearfoot.

When HyProCure May Be Recommended

After completing a detailed examination and biomechanical assessment, Dr. Marco A. Vargas may consider HyProCure for patients experiencing:

Flexible flat feet or fallen arches
Excessive inward foot rotation
Recurring foot or ankle fatigue
Arch and heel discomfort
Instability while standing or walking
Symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis
Pain related to abnormal foot mechanics
Difficulty obtaining sufficient support from conservative treatments

HyProCure isn’t right for every foot condition. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine whether the procedure matches your diagnosis and treatment goals.

How the HyProCure Procedure Works

HyProCure uses a small titanium stent placed within the natural space between the ankle and heel bones. The device is intended to help prevent excessive inward movement while preserving the foot’s natural range of motion.

The device is inserted through a small incision during a minimally invasive procedure. Recovery instructions, activity restrictions, and follow-up care vary based on the patient’s health, foot structure, and response to treatment.

Dr. Vargas will explain the procedure, expected recovery, and possible risks so you can make an informed decision about your care.

Exploring Conservative and Surgical Options

Treatment for foot misalignment usually begins with a careful assessment of your symptoms, movement, and overall foot structure. Conservative options such as supportive footwear, exercises, and custom orthotics may be recommended before a procedure is considered.

If conservative care doesn’t provide adequate support or symptom relief, HyProCure may offer another option. Some patients may require a different type of foot and ankle surgery depending on the severity and cause of their condition.
