68 year old male with end stage arthritis of his subtalar joint (ie, joint beneath the ankle). He had tried all conservative options but still had debilitating pain and was not able to do things such as hike and fly fish.
We decided the best option would be subtalar fusion. He is 3 months out and healing well! He is back to his activities, no longer has the debilitating pain that usually would “stop him in his tracks.” He’s very happy with his results!
The MRI photo depicts his advanced arthrosis and the xray with the screws show a nice developing fusion mass!
When people think of fusion they think their foot won’t move, but as can be seen in the video thats not the case!
