Abstract:
1. A system for modifying a talocalcaneal spatial relationship in a foot, comprising: a first subtalar spacer having a spacer body portion and implanted in the sinus tarsi of the foot, the spacer body portion having a first articulating surface, second base surface opposably facing the first articulating surface, and an outer surface extending from the first articulating surface to the second base surface, wherein said first articulating surface is contoured to articulate with an inferior surface of a bone and said first subtalar spacer is shaped to fill a portion of the sinus tarsi elevating the talus bone relative to the calcaneus bone and restoring the sinus tarsi space of the foot; and a first fastener that fastens the first subtalar spacer within said sinus tarsi; wherein the articulating surface of the first subtalar spacer directs relative movement between the calcaneus and the talus of the foot.
