I can tell you that you CAN light jog and hike after ankle fusion. Have to be careful and change your form but it can be done. Proper shoes and ache supports of whatever you need are essential depending of your foot type. 44 years old here and not listening to "can't' people.
May be you can jog a little, kinda marathon, but with no jump. I can jump very little using mostly the knees joints and forefoot which is less than 25% of ankle power. To be able to run, you need to be able to jump on 1 foot only which is imposible for fused ankles, even for best athletic condition. I am a guy who used to run 10 x 400m=4000m, like 20 minutes.
@@deborahkelsey5065 No, you will not. To run, you must be able to jump on one foot. You can not do it with fused ankles. But you can walk quite fast after 2 years. Running with fused ankles is like running on heels to normal people. Or as if you are running in ski boots. You just can not.
My fusion was successful in that it corrected the arthritis and pain in the joint but it has also caused nerve damage which, a year after surgery, with numb sections in my forefoot which are not necessarly painful, but are uncomfortable.
@@christianguezennec4109 nah. You good. My biggest advice is Stay off of it until it's healed!!!! And when you get back to work I'll make sure the scene is safe for ya🤣🤣
Jan, 18, 1992, I hit a tree head-on while driving. Floorboards buckled and crushed my feet. 17 operations on both and ended up with a Blair bone fusion on my right foot. It was 30yrs since that car wreck. My personal advice-which doesn't mean much because we are all different, maintain your weight, stretch your legs to keep limber, keep your strength up and if your Dr. provides you with an AFO-WEAR IT!!! Issues today, my left foot is wore out, its been compensating for 30yrs. My back is getting worse with each passing year, my knees ache and I have arthritis. But the good- its up to you to determine your limitations. At 54yrs old, I still race motocross, I work out everyday, I can climb a tree, fish, mountain bike, swim, play baseball, roller blade, skateboard, rake the leaves, I work 15hr days as an aircraft mechanic and am on my feet weather its hot, cold, rain or like now, snowing!! I have learned to live with it, it is a life sentence and I modify my activities to accomplish what I need to do. I still have very good days, where I can go for a run but few and far between. I do live in pain everyday but its better than the alternative which is a wheel chair or dead from my injuries. If i had to do it all over again, I would have my foot amputated. I chose the course of action for the present, I should have chosen the course of action for the future, I believe I would have been better off.
I hit a tree head on in 2020, I dislocated my hip and suffered servere foot drop, I had emergency surgery for my hip, I believe until this day that when they did surgery on my hip they messed up a nerve that cause more trauma to my foot for a lil over there yr I suffered in paint trying to wear an afo to help with my foot drop, well my foot drop got so bad, my Achilles shrunk they decided to do surgery. It was surgery or amputation. I was scared to lose a limb. I opt’d out for surgery. That was in May 19th 2021. I’m still struggling to put weight through my foot. I use a Walker and wheelchair. Shit been frustrating but thanks to pain management and a little greenery I have my good days. I’m less active, but atleast im back financially able to provide for myself. It’s been a struggle with PT/OT. But yea if you have an option CHOOSE FOR THE LONGEVITY. I too wouldn’t recommend surgery either
@@Unite-4-Peace hi man, did you get your amputation? I'm facing the option of a fusion if cartilage repair fails. I really don't want a fusion but I also really don't want the pain that will come with it later in life when the rest of my body starts to give up
@@MarkHK66 Only if less than 10% of cartilage is damaged you may have a chance to heal. I waited in vain 20 years to heal🤣 a 90% damaged cartilage and finally I got fused ankles. After surgery you need at least 3 months not to walk, but you may use crutches. It is much better with fused ankles than a painfull motion with no cartilage in ankle joints. Not to mention the stiffen sensation in the morning.
No one talks about 25 years after the fusion . I had my left ankle done 1999 and was pretty good until reasonably when the bones in my foot got filled up with bone spars and arthritis’s’.
You may add volleyball as sport but with no jump. I can play above average in a team of young players. Even I may throw at the basketball hoop, again with no jump and even play in a team. I confirm cycling and swimming with no limits. I do on daily basis 15 minutes of elliptical bike, it is best for fused ankles, at least 6 months since surgery. I have both ankles fused, one is 2 years old and strong the other only 1 year since opperation.
I have just been put into a air boot after 6 weeks in the cast, I have been told i can put around 45% weight on it. Do i have to keep the foot stiff and walk flat footed or can i let the foot push forward from the ball of the foot. Any help appreciated
I had a compound fracture and broke my ankle on both the right & left sides; I now have arthritis in my ankle. I currently play pickleball with and ankle brace followed by "Tiger Balm" & CBD ointments. If I get an ankle fusion will I still be able to play pickleball?
I regret getting my partial ankle fusion! There were other options I was able to use instead of surgery that I was not told about. My foot problems were due to working 10+ hours 5 to 7 days a week in steel toe boots at a factory. Please look for other options as this is permanent and will affect your whole body. I'm WORSE off now than I was BEFORE the surgeries (1 surgery led to a total of 4)....Their only "help" for me now, is a full fusion (I refused) or an amputation.
@@nonologylol i feel better now that I'm not at the factory, but the surgeries caused more damage and didn't really help anything. I can no longer run or exercise, I developed severe arthritis in my entire foot, and it crunches when I move it, plus my ROM is limited now. If you can, please avoid the fusion and look for physical therapy, or stretches, or basically just about anything else to help relieve the pain.... it isn't worth it and most doctors only care about the money. Edit: July 2022. I am now running as well as exercising. My foot still crunches and still doesn't have normal ROM right now but I'm working to see if that is caused by scar tissue and can be fixed as well.
What about Dancing. What about having both Done? I was dance and doing lots. But after a very bad RTA. It lift me in with Doctors wishing you fusion of both.. I feel it should be replacements..
@@petedixon6080 I can run upstairs without difficulty. I would need to lose weight and keep strengthening my foot muscles and lateral calf muscles to get the spring I need for running or jogging a very short distance.
I have had a fusion and can definitely do downward dog; tree and warrior are difficult, but this is in part due to other arthritis in my body, including knees and hips. Downward Dog is now my go'to for getting up off the floor when I need to. Your milage may vary.
Hey Grant. I have a full fusion after a major accident. Here's my experience with skating on ice skates. I was somewhat able to do it after the fusion but unfortunately not very well. Keep in mind that I was an excellent skater when I was younger before the accident. The main reason I think that ice skating is challenging after the fusion is because there's massive lack of muscle control in order to maintain that intricate balance on a skate. My ankle just felt super sloppy compared to the healthy one. One thing I thought about doing is taping the ankle with sports tape to make it stiffer but I haven't gotten around to it since I'm not that into ice skating these days anyway. I can skate on a skateboard pretty well. Same goes for snowboarding. Hope this helps...
I have an AFO-Ankle-foot orthoses and I wear it all the time! I'm a motocross (MX) rider, I wear my AFO inside my Mx boots and I bought Ankle saver footpegs from Fastway! Im 54 and UI can still rip some awesome fast laps, I can still jump the big stuff, although my nerve to try big stuff is showing its age!! Figure out your groove and go for it!
Born with fusion in both ankles. Been skating since 4 years old. Had fusion surgery at 28 in 1989 on right ankle because of severe arthritis. Always have had a hard time skating backwards because of the lifelong fusion. Skating forward I have never had problems. With continue to skate until I can't. 🏒
Yes! I do squats (Raised heels) and deadlifts. Also the other normal compound lifts. Nothing with high impact. th-cam.com/video/oc4QSGkWRvs/w-d-xo.html Advice for footwear. These have reduced my pain dramatically and improved my quality of life. Good luck!
I work out everyday. had a fusion 30yrs ago. You just have to learn to modify your routine. The only issue you face is the bad foot, you can still squat but you have to learn balance and learn to rock your foot forward or aft to do the task.
My ankle fusion was done when I was 19 I'm now 42. Both my knees kill me. My foot on fusion hurts all the time. I have broken my foot several times. My good knee I've had to have surgery. Where my walk has changed now for over 20 years I know it has affected all these joints. Now my back hurts when I'm up and walking.
@@gabrielkruger1060 when they fuse your ankle, other bones start to take up the weight distribution. The problem is, those bones weren't meant to carry that weight so you wear down your other joints much faster. This surgery affects your entire body over time as its constantly trying to bring itself back into its natural balance.
@@gabrielkruger1060 this is my personal experience of going through this with a partial fusion. I couldn't imagine going through with a full one. If you don't believe people who are actually LIVING THROUGH IT and giving you their experience and recommendations then you can look it up yourself or ask a nurse/doctor yourself though you may not get the truth from them, since most only care about money.
@@BlackOnyx08 I really ask this because I've never heard of it affecting the whole body..... What do you feel in the whole body? do you have any symptoms? And which bone of yours was fused?
I attempted to commit suicide in November of 2020 and fell 40ft off a bridge. I had a subtalar fusion and I am now running along a pavement. I had to spend about 8 weeks non weight bearing and then it has been a slow process of rebuilding up that strength in my feet and my legs and body. I am now running along pavements so it is possible, there is a tiny bit of pain but it's an ok experience. The foot obviously can't turn side to side so it will obviously feel a bit rocky on pavements. If anyone else out there has a story, I'd be interested to hear it.
I'm also jumping as well and kicking a ball around on uneven ground with a little bit of pain. The operation went well and the injury seems to be recovering so yep.
how are you today? I understand your situation, I also have depression.... bro, your foot doesn't go sideways either? I had surgery on the navicular bone about 3 years ago and I don't have the movements to the side..... do you know if it harms running? I still haven't tried to run for fear that something might happen
@@gabrielkruger1060 Hi mate, I've been doing okay. I still have bad days but overall things seem to be getting better. Its obviously tough with the injury to deal with that trauma but the more stuff you do, the better you feel on the inside. I hope ur staying mentally good as well!! 😁
Hey Ryan, I did the same thing and had a calcaneal fracture, it took total 8 months to completely walk and do things, now if i walk for long distances my ankle feels pain and my orthopedist told that I might need a subtalar fusion after some months ,I am afraid obviously, to go through something again and I would be glad to hear from you about your experiences and challenges to make a decision
i had an ankle fusion almost 3 years ago i was doing great but these pst few months i can barely stand for an hour because it gets swollen and i can barely walk i feel like a stabbing pain and like something is going to break i havent hurt ankle but after surgery kt was but at least 6 months to now it swells i can not stand for more than 1 hour or i can barely walk i go to the doctor all they say to lift my ankle but its an every day thing
