I had a tibial talar fusion in May 2007 and it did not take away the pain .
I still have 75% of the pain in my ankle. My left leg is about 1 inch
shorter now because of the surgery and I finally got a lift in my show. The
pain makes me limp and now I have severe arthritis of that hip and moderate
of the knee.I am 59 and this has really changed my life.I feel about 80.
I had a total knee replacement .that went great but not by the same
doctor.I have no confidence in this ankle doctor now because he just didn't
fix the ankle. He has to know I just can't trust him again after he botched
the ankle already.
i want to have this done! I think it would dramatically help my ankle
arthritis and ankle instablity!
