Abstract
Extra-Osseous Talotarsal Joint Stabilization (EOTTS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves the insertion of an internal fixation device, stent, into the sinus tarsi. The goal of this stent is to realign and stabilize the “foundation joint” of the body, while still allowing a normal joint range of motion. There are more than 100 peer-reviewed, published articles that prove the medical necessity for and the effectiveness of EOTTS.
