Whitehouse, TX

Does it really help?
How long is recovery?
Have you had to have it "refined" before 10yrs?

You would be far better off with a fusion than a replacement. Most ankle replacements are only 70% successful and they can really mess you up. One thing.. not using your hands.. but not being able to walk.. absolutely not! I had complications from my hip replacement that was scary.. but ankles you need those!
