    Abstract: A sinus tarsi implant for the purpose of stabilizing and restoring motion between the talus and calcaneus while allowing normal motion and alignment. In a preferred embodiment, the implant is composed of a titanium alloy that is a combination of a cylindrical portion and an axially connected conical portion. The cylindrical portion has a surface with multiple parallel grooves that are each parallel to the transverse axis of the cylinder. The grooves are uniquely shaped with a perpendicular medial side and an angled lateral side. The implant is cannulated to enable use of a guide wire that insures proper alignment during insertion.
