    Ankle Fusion of outer ankle bones

    Thanks for reply For some reason having problems logging in. Anyway here I am. Unfortunately tried to open the article on Arthrodesis and as I am located in UK it would not open. I know that the operation is going to be a "big one" as the consultant put it and I will need to be in a wheelchair...

    Ankle Fusion of outer ankle bones

    Just wondered if anyone has had ankle joints fused. I am supposed to be having this operation in the future. Can anyone enlighten me on what to expect afterwards.

    PKR Unicompartmental knee replacement<

    Thank you SuperSnapper for telling me this, I see I did not finish a sentence that I was writing in my post. I meant to say that I have another follow up in a couple of weeks with the orthopedic team. So am going to ask for an ultrasound to confirm what the PT thinks. Nice to know that one...

    PKR Unicompartmental knee replacement<

    4 months post operative and just starting to 'turn the corner'. Also discovered the shin pain. The PT explored the area massaging and prodding gently. She thinks that it may well be a Pes Ansurine (sorry spelling hopeless) or goose foot insertion bursitis. The pain is intermittent which I...
