re: Ankle Fusion surgery--any input??

I would highly recommend finding a foot and ankle fellowship trained Ortho surgeon in your area who does fusions AND replacements.

The Dr. I am seeing comes highly recommended by my personal ortho who has performed 2 joint surgeries on me over the years, rotator cuff and elbow. He flat told me he would not feel qualified to deal with my ankle and recommended the guy he'd trust, and that's who I'm seeing.

Plus I have a friend who was a salesman for Stryker and sold all the parts for joint replacement and he knows the Dr. I'm seeing and he too highly recommended him.

I have an appointment to see him this coming Monday to make a decision.

I truly appreciate all the input you folks have given so far.
