Abstract
An implant for insertion into a tarsal sinus includes a metal body having a plurality of threads disposed thereon. The body also includes a generally smooth, non-threaded portion that provides an articulating surface for the bones of the joint. The non-threaded portion tapers along a length, decreasing in size toward the tarsal sinus opening. This configuration mimics the shape of the tarsal canal when the foot is bearing weight, and therefore distributes the weight over a relatively large surface area.
