tripple bone fusion with implants
Posted , 5 users are following.
Since the operation on the 1st of Feburary I have regretted having the operation . Can anyone tell me if they have asked for a reversal and had any implants removed because basicly I thought this would be for the better but it as not worked out like that. I have pain everyday and ended up with a limp and have more pain when walking down hill or going down inclines. I would not hesitate having it rerversed because i have regretted having it done in the first place.

I have heard about taking out plates and screws but your physician would know best. A friend had a 5th Metatarsal screw work it's way out however mine is a lateral one now horizonal. Wow your injury may take longer to heal. Let us know

Hello 2dl,
I'm sorry to hear about your continued pain. I know that sometimes hardware can be removed (is that what you mean by implants?) if it is bothersome. Unfortunately, unfusing a bone is not possible. What does your doctor say about your continued pain? Foot pain is awful, unlike any other pain. I wish you the best finding relief.

But that would mean that those joints would need to be fused.
Are you speaking of your ankle?
It takes 9-18 months for a major weight bearing ankle or foot to heal completely.
