I just found your channel while I'm on medical leave from having my own ankle fusion surgery in April. I had broken my ankle completely in half in Sept 2023 and they had to perform surgery to piece it back together. The surgeon implanted an allograft, a plate, and 8 screws at that time. The first surgery partially failed due to two non unions and post traumatic osteoarthritis. In April I had the fusion which gave me a second plate and 6 more screws plus a bone graft from my knee to my ankle. I'm been grasping for something that gives me hope. Though your circumstances are not nearly mine, you have helped
Been waiting for this follow up video. Thanks for sharing. I had broken my leg and the ankle really bad 24 years ago. The ankle had 2 screws and there is a plate with screws that runs halfway up my tibia. Plate is permeant but the screws were removed.
Hey I have just had an ankle fusion and had my 2wk removal of the cast and removal of the stitches and I go back in another 4 wks to see the surgeon and have the cast removed🤞am actually scared to put my weight through it I also have a heavy manual job I work in a factory 😢so I am not looking forward to going back
My dr said 10 weeks in a cast and Im still in a boot after almost 4 months. I have a rod that was inserted throughthebottomof my heel, a long screw through the back of my ankle and 2 more screws mid calf in order to fuse my tibia and fibula. This is tougher than I expected. 😮
Hi, Anand here. My wife has been advised ankle fusion now, as she suffered an ankle Fracture 5 years ago. Your ankle fusion video is really helpful to learn post op stages and recovery. It has also given a lot of confidence. Can you help us with your Surgeon details. Name of the Dr. and Hospital. Thank you.
Hello Scott!! Saw both your videos, the 8 months post op and the one of before. My mother (64 now) had fractured her ankle due a twist injury. Subsequently, a surgery was performed to join the bone then. Turns out her cartilage too was damaged and she was told to live with it as long as she could bear. It has pained ever since, and now it pains a lot. So, it's time for surgery. We are based in India, and an ankle specialist doctor we saw here suggested ankle replacement or fusion. We were inclined towards replacement as that doesn't hinder ankle mobility. Would like to know what made you go for ankle fusion as against ankle replacement?
Friends have the same, but he got six screws in. But after the operation, he is bag to normal doing all activities and start doing testing presentations electric scooter & bycicles some of them doing almost 100 mph.
