Patient Support: Information

Thank you for visiting the Tornier Distal Extremities group website. We make implants for orthopedic procedures of the extremities (hand, wrist, elbow, ankle, and foot).

One of those implants is the Futura™ Conical Subtalar Implant (CSI), which is used for correction of flexible flatfoot (Pes plano valgus). Read our overview of how the CSI implant can help in our Patient's Guide to Flexible Flatfoot Correction (565k PDF).

Another is the Salto® Talaris Total Ankle Prosthesis, which is used for total ankle joint replacement. Read how it can help in our Salto™ Talaris Patient Brochure (294k PDF).

Patients considering surgery should consult one of the following websites for general advice about procedures and physicians.
