What is ankle fusion surgery like?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all! I broke my ankle 4 years ago and had pins and plates fitted for 6 months in a non-weight baring cast before having them removed. Last november after no improvement 3 years on I had an ankle arthoscopy. Unfortunately it didn't do anything and i'm back in the same position! My surgeon has mentioned my next step being ankel fusion surgery!
What does this do and how long were you out for as I start university in 3 weeks and want to be able to do as much of the course as possible without taking a year off!
Thanks
Hollie

Seems they are fobbing you off with a second class option to save time and money.
You can go back to studying in an AIRCAST boot plus
crutches in days (patial weight bearing)
Good luck
Mr Ankle
