- What is ankle fusion?
Ankle fusion is a type of surgery to fuse the bones of your ankle into one piece. It’s also known as ankle arthrodesis. The surgery is usually done to treat arthritis in the ankle.
The ankle joint is also called the tibiotalar joint. It’s where the shinbone (tibia) rests on top of a bone of the foot called the talus. The ankle also includes the subtalar joint. This is where 2 foot bones called the talus and the calcaneus meet.
Arthritis can affect these 2 joints in the foot. Over time, the smooth cartilage on the surface of the bones wears away. This results in pain, inflammation, and swelling in your joint.
Ankle fusion is a surgery to fuse 2 or more bones in the ankle. This helps stop the pain and swelling. Your surgeon will make an incision in your ankle to work on the joint. He or she will then compress the bones together and attach them with plates, nails, screws, or other hardware. Your healthcare provider may also use a bone graft to help the bones heal together.
In some cases, an ankle fusion can be done with minimally invasive surgery. This uses a smaller incision and a tiny camera to help do the surgery.

Wow ive
Only just be following you last week as im doing my first porcellin patio 80m2😮excellent work and tips from you im a bricklayer myself from cardiff and realize how you body gets battered in this game wish you all the best and thanks for all your great advice and input👍🏴🙏
If you wanted to meet me on a site visit then WhatsApp me 07789976477 I’d like to meet you 👍🏴
Speedy recovery and take it easy
Yeh will do Netflix on the go 👍🏴
Thanks for your insights mate... cheers.
Sure thing! I did do another follow up have a look on my channel 👍🏴
Glad you're on the mend mate, keep us updated,
Thank you, I will and it’s slowly getting better but still miles off pushing any barrows 👍🏴
@tidybrickslandscaping I can imagine, glad to see you make progress though, looks like a big job 🦴🚑 alot of recovery time .
Good to hear all is going well with your recovery, wishing you all the best, take care
Thank you kindly 👍🏴
Hi Scott, looks painful, although a lot of people are predisposed to osteoarthritis presumably yours was also accelerated by the type of work you’ve been doing. I have osteoarthritis in the knees and it’s a bugger. Hope it repairs well and you make a full recovery.
Same to you Colin it comes to is all at some point looks like just keep the faith and chin up 👍🏴
Doing great,it seems to be healing well. The part where you said you was told not to stick anything down the cast but you did anyway reminded me of you being told not to hit your level but you did anyway.
😂 👍🏴
Looking good fella. Just take it easy 🌻
That's the plan! 👍🏴
Great to see you back Scott. Recovery looking good. Defo flat mobile soled shoes no good and rocker sole much better for arthritic / fused ankle. I agree with leave screws unless a problem and wouldn't contemplate removal until at least 12 months.
All the best 👍
Good advice on the screws I’m not in no rush to have em out yet and those shoes have helped loads 👍🏴
Hope that you're feeling top notch ASAP. Sending good vibes 👍
Yes! Thank you! 👍🏴
Very informative, lighthearted video. After an accident that has smashed up my ankle joint, my last option is ankle fusion. Im in so much pain everyday and at 35 im struggling with day to day life. Im looking on the internet for advice and other peoples experience with ankle fusion. Your video has given me hope that although the journey is long, it is worth it. Thank you!! I hope you are recovering well, elisha
I’m glad the video has helped you realise what’s ahead and it’s certainly no more pain that went straight away good luck hope it goes well 👍🏴
All the very best, hope everything goes well
Yeh fingers crossed 🤞 👍🏴
I'm about to get ankle fusion surgery in about 2 weeks. Thank you for sharing your journey! I gotta get myself some curvy shoes!
Yeh good luck with the op hope it all Pans out in the end mine did and yes those shoes are a great help not taken em off since I bought em 👍🏴
Wishing you a continued recovery mate must be very difficult
I suffer with gout in my feet and when that hits it’s the most painful thing
Ouch that also not so good get better soon too 👍🏴
Nice to see you on the mend 👍 thanks for sharing , getting my two knees replaced in Feb😭 so good to see you getting better
Good luck with the operation then hopefully your alright with a plaster cast 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping

Good luck and see you soon mate .
Your folks pushing you made me laugh 😂😂😂 fairplay to em 😂😂
Cheers Justin yeh keep going if you can like I’m trying I’m sure I’ll get there in a few more months 👍🏴
All the best mate, recovery time is most important, don't push it and you should be as good as new 👍
I’m preparing to wait it out not pushing any wheel barrows yet 👍🏴
Happy to see ur on mend brother
Appreciated 👍🏴
Glad you sorted mate ,hopefully you getting better soon 😊
Yeh few months yet I reckon 👍🏴
All the best
Cheers buddy 👍🏴
You have inspired me. Mine was done on August but still in pain.
Mine was a few months earlier and haven’t had any pain since apart from it aches from time to time but no pain !! Sorry to hear that
Thank you for sharing; I'm in week 15 and am off the AirCast boot. I bought Skechers sneakers before i saw your video. They are excellent shoes post surgery, super comfy, lots of cushion. I bought the newer HyperBurst series of Skechers sneakers. I'm walking quite well now but, like you said, it'll take a while so I'm taking things easy. Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed the video and I’ve got a new pair arriving soon I hope it’s the hoka brand where they’ve got like a small boot with good ankle support too unlike the sketchers. I’ll let you know if there any good for future reference 👍🏴
get well dude. let it heal.
All takes time and thx 👍🏴
hi brother just had my hip replaced i feel your pain .big love from sydney
Sorry to hear that Stu hopefully you be up and going again soon 👍🏴
Hi Scott, good to see you moving around, if it’s bone related drink plenty of milk, you need calcium helps with the healing process. Btw I broke both of my arms in a bike accident in 1978.
Sorry to hear about you accident bet that hurt and I love milk so I’ve been drinking loads of it 👍🏴
February 9, 2024.....Thanks for posting this video. I had the calcaneus fused to the inner and outer bones of the ankle ten days ago and go back for my first post op visit on Monday the 12th. If everything looks good, I'll get a hard cast and will have to return every two weeks for a new one and eventually a boot like yours.
My procedure DID NOT include the tibia and talus as yours did, and I'm thankful for that so my range of motion in the flex won't be as restricted as yours, but the side to side motion will be affected. I'm 72 and in good health. Your video has inspired me and I MAY TRY doing a video of my own.
I hope you're healing process is on track. North Carolina, USA
Good luck on Monday hope it goes well and I’m going to do a follow up video next few days to give my later opinion of the op and yes I really do have minimal movement it’s a shame but I’m pain free 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping This past Monday's visit went well. Stitches were not ready to be removed, so another splint until the 22nd...then hard cast. I'm SO GLAD that your pain has gone!! If your pain was like mine, I can't wait to join you in celebrating!
Hey buddy, thank you so much for the blog they’ve been very informative, just wondering how long until you had no more pain when you were walking and you walk with a limp? And do you still have an active lifestyle? I appreciate your story. God bless.
Hi mark that’s for the reply buddy and yeh 7 months in and it’s all good so far with the knowing it’ll never be the same again that’s for sure but certainly not in any pain for sure and can walk straight again just a bit slower. Possibly having the screws taken out in a few months too. I’ll do a update after that 👍🏴
Good luck bud
Cheers Luke I’m walking without the stick now so it’s looking good 👍🏴
Good luck m8
Cheers mark 👍🏴
Get well soon
Thanks mate 👍🏴
Glad to see that you're on the mend. Enjoy the rugby.
Slowly getting there and yeh I’m watching every game and loving it 👍🏴
You brought back some memories for your mum very good get all the exercise done and you’ll be right soon enough, so look after yourself and keep smiling and your governments doing the best for-you all the speed limit is down to 20 mile an hour now 😂😂👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🔥🏴 9:13
Cheers for that as for the government what a bunch of C#### they are hey 👍🏴
Good to see you up and about Scott 👍
You going back to work or still retired ?
No more dodgy dance moves then 😂😂
Not sure yet most likely the 2nd dunno 👍🏴
Wishing you the best for a great recovery from your op Hoka is another good brand of trainers that was recommended to me after my ankle fusion from foot and ankle surgeon also my podiatrist ! I had my ankle fusion , foot reconstruction Sept 18 , 2019 after 10 years of agony I had to wear a brace for support and steroid injections every 4 months / After op I had a very heavy large plaster for 2 weeks my leg had to stay elevated only moving for bathroom / then air boot for 6 weeks no contact with floor for 4 weeks then last 2 weeks only walking on the ball of my foot / I had a scooter to get around the house that was a god send ! It took 6 months before I could go back to work as I’m a hairdresser on my feet for long hours it wasn’t easy but I got there the surgery was worth it I couldn’t go on the way it was ! I’m doing great now ! I highly recommend following Drs orders to the word it worked for me / Things for me could be slightly different as I’m in Australia !
Well I’m glad you had a success pre op with good recovery ❤️🩹 perfect and as for that hoka shoe yes I found out from someone in the comments about hoka so I’ve bought my first pair not so long ago and there great 👍🏴
Get well soon! Your garden needs a landscaper, do you know any decent ones???
I actually had to move into my folks for a while my landlady wanted me out to put rent up 👍🏴
Hi mate that looks painful I'm currently waiting for more surgery losing another finger at this rate I'll only be able to count to 6 but hey ho we dust ourselves down and carry on be careful mate when pointing your foot to the east you'll pick up absolute radio 👍
Hopefully your surgery goes well too all the best in that as for the radio I’ve managed to get fix radio podcasts which I’m on anyways 👍🏴
Thanks mate. Ive got the op coming up soon. Did they offer you cortisone injections before the op? Are you glad you had it done? Thanks again, Nick
No offer of any sort just straight into it and now about 6 months later there’s hell of a difference no pain ever just ackes still need to build my calf muscles up again
Seeing the surgeon next week to talk about taking the screws out as it’s a option and I might actually take it even though it’s adding more time to total recovery
My thoughts are full 12 months for total recovery but could be less if you’re sat at a deck all day not physical work
Hope that helps 👍🏴
Worst part for me was the plaster cast 6 weeks that was shit after that all good 👍🏴
@tidybrickslandscaping yeah that's great. Thanks for replying. How do you build Calf muscle without being able to flex your ankle?
@@nickjordan6069 lots of walking apparently and doing steps which is hard as it’s limited movement which is very noticeable maybe about 20% compared
And really doesn’t effect me much to be honest 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks for your time. Good luck with the recovery
Hi buddy waiting for my ankle fusion opp and just a quick one were did you get those shoes as I’ve looked everywhere and getting no luck many thanks in advance stan
Hi and hopefully you have a successful operation as for the shoes I had them recommend from my surgeon and bought them from sketchers 👍🏴 not the best looking but so much easier to walk with
@@tidybrickslandscaping thanks for getting back to me and I’ll be on sketchers website for a look hope you have a great Christmas
@@christopherstanley8149 roll technology or something like that but concentrate on the shape more so. Max cushioning I think try that first 👍🏴

Hey, great video me and the wife watch your video today, you did mention in your comments about a follow up video, please could you send a link to the video.
Here we go paul hope this helps and btw it’s getting better but aches still every few days still 👍🏴 ruclips.net/video/6OrWxA028Cc/видео.htmlsi=fl1eCrdcL5cLs_EX
@@tidybrickslandscaping thank you, it always helps to watch another person's experience, so that it helps with the mental recovery too and the wondering of how things will / should progress.
@@paulwilson1555 I’m glad this info helps other people out and the knowledge which is to come. Let’s just say running jogging will be a wish list and walking down stairs is a slow procedure but there’s absolutely no pain anymore
My worst experience was the cast for 6 weeks that sucked big time especially with itching antihistamine tablets did help with that 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping my wife is currently 3 weeks into the boot, with some random pains, but for her at the moment it is the boredom factor of been at home a lot.
@@paulwilson1555 there’s a lot more sat at home bored that’s for sure to come but I’m glad it’s in a boot already 👍🏴
Feel for you , I tore my achilles nothing compared with what you have got, but a similar recovery although a soft 'boot' with an angle to stop the achilles stressing and they gradually changed the angle. I did find when I was out of the boot, (which I had been using with crutches) I did seem to have pain in different parts of my body which I guess was to do with walking a bit one sided with the boot and crutches, that took quite a while to go but I just kept doing stretching exercises and that seemed to help, all the best
Hope it’s on the road to recovery soon as same to me, this cold air doesn’t help that’s for sure it’s all stiff atm 👍🏴
I had several sessions of physio at the hospital they show you what too do then give you a sheet with the exercises on it, to be honest I found that walking every day and finding a set of steps to climb up and down helped the most, it takes a while, just keep at it and you'll get there I'm sure. All the best@@tidybrickslandscaping
I feel for you having had an inter medullary nail op when i smashed my lower leg up.
Remember that pain is part of healing and the bone will heal faster if you aply weight.
I did private physio and basically did my own thing post op, you can do more than they will advise you.
I will keep my im nail and screws until the day i drop, no way i want an op again.
Just been for another 15m walk 2nd half no crutches and those sketchers on my feet and all went well. And yeh the screws can stay there 👍🏴
Thanks for that , hope your well. Is it still ok? ..im a 38 and a pe teacher, sport and gym every day, ankle pain last few years after a second break in the same ankle. Ignored it but mri said today very bad arthritis now in subtalar joint which makes sense, ankle fusion was mentioned! Dnt know if i could do the year out , the thought kills me especially with my young kids 😔 hoping to find other solutions or to continue to grizz it.
Sorry to hear about that and my first words are I haven’t had any pain since the op it’s been helpful but when it’s fussed that’s it it’ll never be the same just got to suck it up and steps will always be awkward. I did do a follow up video btw 👍🏴
Hi Ave just had my left ankle fused together and boy is it painful like yourself the cast was a problem had to have it changed within the first 2 days now got a much lighter cast on I am interested in were you got your trainers from as I cannot seem to find any places that sell rocker bottom trainers thanks
Good point I got them from sneakers the first pair now I’ve bought some from hoka and there’s great for pre op shoes but you’ll possibly have a swollen ankle after the op so you’ll need a size up hope that helps and thx for watching 👍🏴
For the past 15 years, I've relied on a combination of two Naproxen pills (painkillers) and one Lansoprazole (to protect my stomach from the Naproxen's effects) to manage the pain. It made a significant difference in my life, but relying on medication for so long takes its toll. That's why I decided to explore other options and consulted a surgeon about the possibility of joint fusion.
To my surprise, the surgeon suggested a steroid injection instead, considering me a bit too young for major fusion surgery. I was sceptical, but I agreed. To my amazement, the injection has been incredibly successful. I haven't needed any painkillers, and I'm completely pain-free. In fact, I recently participated in an 18-mile charity walk without any discomfort. It's been a game-changer for me.
However, there is going to come a time when I will be in the same boat as you and will need to have the joint fused.
I wish you a speedy recovery, sir. And pain-free walking.
Sorry for the delay and firstly I’m glad the steroid injection worked for you great technology as for me I was old enough for the fusion and I’m 5 months in now and it’s still not perfect by far apparently depending on you perfection it can take 12 months or so which I can see this more likely for my age bracket and landscaping business, I saw the surgeon last about 2 months ago and he said he’s happy with the op and I can if wanted have the screws taken out at some point which I might actually do depends on my next meetings questions on it.
Hope it all goes well for you in the upcoming future 👍
I did Everest base camp a few years ago for charity too won’t be doing that again so glad it did it post op
👍🏴
How are managing.. now.. they are looking to do both my ankles? As i had a bad RTA.. very unsure about having both Done.. Tim
I’m about 7 months in and feels a lot better and it’s never going to be the same again it’s a slower walk does acke still but there’s no pain at all !!!
I might have to do a recap video 7 months in for you all 👍🏴
Why did you chose fusion over joint replacement?
Apparently fusion would actually cure the arthritis 👍🏴
How long was you on crutches?
Did she like you on crutches?
There’s no she in my life and the crutches went on for quite a while after I was allowed to wear the boot and out weight on it.
After a while just the one crutch was enough 👍🏴
I may need this in the future but, like you, I don’t think it can do the cast. I would be in a massive panic attack
If that time comes let them know to work with you and try help you if your plaster claustrophobic like me.
A linen sock will allow you to use a ruler more effectively without possibly pushing loose cotton further down without the sock.
I found out the hard way and pushed loose cotton down and compacted areas and made it worse
👍🏴 antihistamine tablets helped with the itching
Hey buddy, I’m 17 1/2 weeks since my ankle fusion I just started taking the boot off. I’ve noticed I have a lot of nerve pain in my feet. Did you have that kind of pain and how long did you have a fort if you did?
Unfortunately I still get pins and needles every day still and it’s been a year and a bit already still 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping yeah I just talking to my physiotherapist it’s normal. It could take up to two or three years for to come back thanks brother take care and keep on rocking in the free world
@@MarkGlover-re5we all news to me that it takes that long ! Had a message a few days ago worth checking abiut possible 5 years too
All this is news to me too 👍🏴
When are you getting back to work next week
Next year maybe 👍🏴
We don’t look after ourselves do we?
We’re just thinking how quick can we get back to the job! Mental
I’m certainly in no rush to get back to it 👍🏴 we need man MOT’s
7 weeks ago of my ankle surgery some one tell me how much time will taken please
6 weeks in a cast 6 weeks in a boot with crutches 👍🏴
Do you have to sleep with the boot on?
No it’s fine without just don’t try not to move it around 👍🏴
Also not sure your mic is working properly mate, think it’s picking up on your camera mic instead
I’ll check it out thx 🙏🏻
looks like an average chippie could have done the screws :-) Good on you for doing this vid and keeping your chin up. Leaving screws in is fine, but the older you get, the less keen they'll be on putting you to sleep and removing them. Good on you though fella, oh and may be blur your reg plate out, just in case.
Those screws were from Travis Perkins so hopefully there ok as for the plate mmm 👍🏴 defo no rush to take those screws out yet maybe next year dunno
Hi I have nail rod in right ankle
Apparently I can have them taken out soon ? I might do it 👍🏴
Are you up for any hobbles ? 👍🏼
Golf but only if there’s a buggy involved 👍🏴
I'm 52 had a Ankle fusion operation in 2023 ..
I have had few things going on .Deformity of the foot .Plus Arthritis in my foot ..I have yoo use a stick most of the time ..
I do try and walk a bit without it .I'm in no pain but walking is difficult still.
Anybody the same as me .
I will probably have too use a walking stick for life ..
I didn't have phiseo bit I do lot of swimming Aqua fit and it helps my Ankle.
The stiffness will never go away ..
We’re in the same boat looks like and just glad the pain has gone away for now as for the walking stick recently I’ve started using the one stick for smaller journeys but around the house I’m ok without. I haven’t done any swimming yet maybe I should as that’s a form of physio as well I guess.
And certainly don’t have the ankle movement I had before the operation but I’m finding that manageable
I’m about 5 months in now and I think it’s going to be a few more months yet before I notice any big differences
Seeing the surgeon again in a few weeks to talk about having the screws removed
Take care
Scott 👍🏴
Had it done september 20th 2023. 12 weeks in cast. Bone healing after this was good. Can't walk like he did at 13 weeks without crutches, im at 15 weeks now still need support but in normal shoes. I'm only 31. Seems to be a long recovery for us all. You might need help from shoes for "rolling" the foot like he discussed. Also to avoid unneeded stress on other joints over the long term.
@@ricardo8268 wow 12 weeks in a cast that’s twice as long as me I only had 6 weeks and 6 weeks in a boot as for shoes try something from sketchers as the surgeon recommend for me. I’m about 6 months in now and I’m walking better but still a struggle. Hope it goes well for you 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping After 6 weeks its new cast with shoe that can be attached to it. Can walk on it same as the boot its just not removable. Most likely an insurance thing why boots arent used here, operation was done in the Netherlands. At 12 weeks nurse removed the cast and forced me into wheelchair, warned 5 times not to step on it until after xray and docters approval. Never seen any of those air boots in person either in europe. I had open surgery, bone taken from heel bone, metal plate and 9 screws so normal cast and pressure it provides helped lot against swelling
@@ricardo8268 wow sounds totally different to mine as I only had 2 screws as shown in the video and as for 12 weeks in a cast I don’t think I could of handled that 6 weeks was enough i hated it the cast !!!!
I used to live in zoetermeer years ago working as a bricklayer I loved it but then my Dutch girlfriend drove me insane I had to leave after a couple of years 👍🏴
Did you get this arthritis because you broke your ankle in the past?
I did roll it years back literally 25 years ago and it’s never been the same since. I’m 6 months in almost and it’s much better but still not close to 100% if that’s possible.
Still ackes after a long ish walk 👍🏴
Take up football now mate with that boot jokes a side rest up and take it easy and listen to your body my arthritis is catching up with me but still going not giving up at 33
Oh 33 and feeling like that already ouch stay strong chin up 👍🏴
Hire yourself a decent mobility scooter total independence mate
I’d love that 👍🏴
Aww, take care mate! I'm now 55 and as a landscaper too my whole body aches and the bits that dont ache feel like they will fall off in the very near future!
Same boat as me then young man’s game 👍🏴
@@tidybrickslandscaping Yep, definitely looking that way.... Just to say I really like your take on this whole you tube and work "thing"!
Get well soon
Thanks George 👍🏴
