About ProStop® Arthroereisis Implant
The ProStop titanium subtalar implant is indicated for use as an adjunct with soft tissue (FDL Tendon Transfer and Posterior Tibial Tendon repair, Kidner) and bony (calcaneal osteotomy) reconstructive procedures for the correction of flatfoot deformities. The implant, along with the other procedures listed, preserves function and supports the restoration of normal anatomy. The ProStop is inserted into the tarsal canal between the calcaneus and the talus. The implant prevents excessive hindfoot valgus. The conical shape of the ProStop mimics tarsal canal anatomy for improved fit, while the implant's soft thread design is less traumatic to the patient. The concave back end offers the surgeon easier access with a guide pin, in the event the implant removal is required. The color-coded and laser-marked instrumentation is easy to use and comes with trial sizers already on their own shaft.
