ANKLE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi folks! I had a total ankle replacement on April 24, 2021, I am having pains in my shin from the rod. Surgery was over 1 year and 1 month ago. My ankle no longer hurts be stays so swollen I can hardly get shoes on some days. They are wanting to redo the surgery and I do not know what to do. They said we need to increase the length of the rod. Has anyone out there had this problem?
