Patient Support: Patient Information

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

One of those implants is the 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).

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