Is it.possible to run?

My husband will be having this if other surgery doesn't help..can you run with this fusion? He is athletic like u n ia really depressed

My ankle has been fused for about 2 years. I had 19 surgeries and almost had to have amputation due to infections and various problems with the healing process. Im greatful that i even have both my ankles . I was on crutches for almost 3 years and in that time i got very depressed. I stayed home and didnt do much to keep myself in shape. My muscles have become really weak and i lost some length in my injured leg due to the muscles being unused i guess. This has caused my hips to be out of line and it's just been a domino effect from there. Thank you for making these videos.

YOUR NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS MONTH HAS BEEN MY 3RD FUSION I GO TODAY TAKE MY BANDAGES..

Hi Jamie. Thanks for showing us the way ahead. I cannot find the MBTs Zee range. They don't sell them anymore Do you know what is the most similar model to this one? I want to walk again ! Thanks

Thanks very helpful. Just looking for dates when I can get the fusion done. I’m hesitant, but I know I have no choice. Tried everything.

Amigo vc sofreu asidente 😢pra fazer isto

Vc consegue viver uma vida normal sem dor ou seja trabalhar também

Great attitude. Improvise, adapt, overcome. 👍💪

Thanks for all the videos. I assume you’re still fairly active considering the “squat” and “Sri Lanka” videos? What was the recovery after the fusion operation like? Are you off your feet for days, weeks or months?

Just had mine 6 days ago

I can’t thank you enough for your videos. I have had my right ankle fused in similar fashion to you although the surgeon used a plate on the outside. You have been so inspirational for me but by recommending MBT footwear you have transformed my healing and future life. I particularly like the NAVADA ankle boots which are not only comfortable to wear but provide extra support and reassurance for my fused ankle. Such is the vast array of styles I envisage that I will be wearing MBT for every occasion for life.

Adidas retropy

What shoe are you wearing now. The z3000 is discontinued

I thought your left ankle was the fusioned one. I dont have arthitis yet, but chronic instability and regular strains. I may have to get the surgery in the future, good to know you can have normal life with it

How long did it take from the time therapy started to now for you to get that range of motion?

I'm waiting for a fusion but wondering if I should try the cartilage replacement first, any recommendations? I am a former varsity soccer player with multiple surgeries, fractures, current osteotomy hardware in now and two ligament replacements and severe osteoarthritis and bone on bone currently in the joint.

Hey mate, think you could go on a hike with that fused ankle? Id love to be able to do it again but havent go the fusion yet and living every day in severe pain.

Im 5 weeks opt surgery and i am wondering if my screws in my anke will be removed after some years or i will have to live with them for thr rest of my life

75 yo male coming out of cast into CAM boot in 2wks. Planning on purchasing MBT trainers. What are the factors that determine rocker sole level? Thanks!

Had my ankle fused when i was 17, 38 now… in pretty bad pain but my lifestyle leaves me no choice. 15-20k steps/day. Hiker, athlete, etc. I’m late to the rocker bottom game… thanks for the video

Had my fusion Feb 27th 2024, the only physio advice I was given was by the surgeon who told me to get back into the gym and start cycling and treadmill. I've done a lot more besides but struggling to find something that can really hit the calf muscle, obviously this is gonna be difficult but is there anything other than squats that can hit the calf? Thanks in advance...love you vids.

Loved this - thank you! I feel like my physical health is slowly getting better but mental health is taking a toll. Would love a vid/ comment on your opinion!!

Have you tried OC cloud flyers ? I had ankle fusion 2yrs aho this month, my sugeon approved ! Inlooked at mbt in CAN, they are very expensive, how long do your mbt's last for ?

I am sik

I am sik

Thank you so much had my ankle fusion September 1 23 still working on it they made a ankle brace for me I have to wear it every day could you please tell me if you ever heard of it?😊😊

hello, I want to ask you if you have problems with the total ankle fusion when you walk on uneven, bumpy terrain, I have not yet the ankle fusion, I had a sprain with Fra ture and calcaneus, I am recovering, I was operated on and my foot was debrided sinus tarsi and fixed with a talus and calcaneus screw in the tarsi sinus area and that screw limits my movement on rough terrain, seeing that you can move the ankle well from the navicular, I can at the moment just need a little more training to be able to move the ankle like you, how did you manage to be able to move the ankle through the other joints?

Those original MBTs are gone long time.. I recently tried 3-4 different MBTs and they did not feel the same quality as I had 15 years ago....

Hi, got my ankle fused 4 weeks ago and in 3 days will start walking (with cast). I am very excited and scared at same time because my y story is very complicated, after an osteomyelitic tibial resection and a retrograde nail fixation with 12 cm bone graft from bone bank. Now it’s time to test everything after this hurricane, so I’m thrilled like hell. 57 yo, sport is my life and can’t wait to bike and sail again… Thanks for your videos, really important to me.

what I forgot to mention, I have a wide sole and I also have bunions, so if they are not too tight, they are good for me MBT z3000

hello, I also had a fusion on my left ankle but only between the talus and the calcaneus, I am 3.5 months after the operation and I have started the recovery for 2 weeks, I can walk without crutches but I still can't find the right pair of sneakers, I saw that you recommend MBT Z3000 I am interested in buying but near Frankfurt I can't find them only on Amazon and I should try them first. I have size 42, does the size fit or do I need a bigger number, I ask because I have no way to try, thanks in advance.

4 months in and I agree with rocker shoes are the best but can’t go bare feet at home ..any suggestions for home shoes ?

Hello there just watching your post, can you please tell me, Which Surgeon Did Your Ankle Fusion Surgery?? I had Ankle Fusion Surgery two years ago but the Operation hasn’t worked, be great if you could let me know who your Surgeon is/was many thanks.

I just had mine fused in May and i was wondering what kind of exercises i can do to build any calf muscles to combat the atrophy from being immobilized for so long?

MBT is too chunky!! I sprained my ankle (sideways) while wearing Nike air max because it was chunky! is there any flatter shoe you can recommend?

Can you speak on how long it took you to walk fully without the crutches or boot. Also how was it transitioning from the cast to the boot? My foot is very stiff and I am worried about the transition to the boot, which I'll have to do Physical Therapy but still worried.

Hey, how are you now? I didnt hear from you for a long time now. I am 3 months after ankle fusion and I'm wondering ho it's going after longer time. Say something please 😊

You are a true inspiration. Thank you for making these videos for all of us. You have a true gift !

Thanks mate, I am scheduled for the procedure in a few months..

I just had a Double Arthritis Achilles Lengthening and Tibial Tendon Fusion surgery. Your video has helped me so much. Did your cast ever cause your foot to feel a stinging sensation? Also when you started to walk were you able to put your foot flat on the ground?

Thanks fir this video. Helpful. Ate there calf exercises one can do to stop or reduce the atrophy?

I am just 5 days away from losing my boot after ankle Fusion, I have obtained MBT 2000, and just tried them on and had a short walk in the house.... So comfy, thanks for the advice

Recorey months

I have found your videos to be a great inspiration. I had ankle fusion surgery 7 weeks ago, and seeing what you have accomplished after your own surgery is fantastic. Thank you so much for all the tips!

When your walking around for a while do you need to take breaks I only got my fusion yesterday and before the ankle fusion I uses to take breaks every 5 min from walking because it got to swollen and sore

Why did you have the ankle fusion surgery? I have foot drop. I had a tendon lengthening that helped to lift the foot better however still walking with a very bad limp swinging my leg. You look like you are walking perfectly normal. I love that you can even walk in flip flops. I don’t have enough strength in my foot to keep my foot in the sandal.

Good day! Thank you so much for your channel and for the video! I had a fusion 9 weeks ago. A few questions if possible. How long after the operation were you allowed to partially stand on your feet? I also had an operation on my right leg, how long did it take you to drive a car? Are you skiing mountains after surgery? Thank you!!!

They only go as far as size 11.

Hi. I am wondering if you had a triple arthrodesis or an ankle fusion? Some people use these terms interchangeably.
