TALEX™
Subtalar Stabilization System
A NEW CHOICE FOR STABILIZING THE SUBTALAR JOINT
The Talex™ Subtalar Stabilization System is the latest advancement in the evolution of subtalar implants. Talex™ is a minimally invasive treatment option indicated for use on patients with flat foot or a pronated subtalar joint and is intended to be used for a finite period of. Talex™ can be removed after the conditions causing the pronation have been corrected.
TALEX Design Rationale
The Talex™ Technique
Talex™ subtalar implants are an alternative treatment to more complicated surgeries like calcaneal lengthening which have a longer recovery time.
Surgeons trained with Vilex subtalar implants utilize a quick, minimally-invasive outpatient procedure. The procedure starts with a small incision, typically less than once inch. Through this small incision, a Talex™ implant is inserted into the sinus tarsi, a natural gap between two bones in the ankle. The implant is designed to restore the mid-foot bones to their normal orientation.
