Thanks so much for this detailed explanation. I injured my ankle 40 years ago, but they kept telling me nothing could be done. I was so grateful when my doctor told me they could do ankle replacement. Hope to have this done in a few weeks. So very excited about possibility of walking without constant excruciating pain. Also, thanks for mentioning mental health component. Rotten to not be able to walk in fresh air and sunshine! Wish me luck!
This is quite informative. In a week & a half, I'm having subtalar fusion & 2 tendons being repaired. My arthritis began as a result of repetitive diging in my garden by hopping on a shovel with my left foot. I am gearing up with my home being altered for moving the knee scooter about. Plus things & projects to do while I am recoviering for the next 3 months. Plus, a ramp is being built so I can maneuver about with the scooter or wheelchair. I have been practicing using it. Plus I have a team of friends rallying around me to take to appointments & just keeping me busy. I want to be prepared as best I can. Plus I have lost 10# so far. Hope to loose more by then. Praying it all goes well. I am nervous!
Is it possible to have ankle fusion reversed and an ankle replacement done? Both my ankles have been fused and it has limited my life. I would say to anybody considering ankle fusion DON'T DO IT...it's ruined my life
Plafond fracture last year, 3 breaks due to a log splitter dislocation of the talus….50 years old and was in better shape before the break, any tips on how to hold arthritis at bay?
I have bad ankle pain stopping me from being able to walk. I have lost majority of the cartilage in my ankle joint. Should I be considering ankle replacement? (I am under 18)
Watching this video too makes me think maybe my recent medial malleolus fracture didn’t heal correctly. Some times I can bear weight. Other times it hurts so much I can’t walk. Serious pain.
This was very informative. I am contemplating an ankle fusion vs ankle replacement. You gave a good explanation of the procedure. Thank you!

I had this done two months ago. Best decision I have ever made.
How long did it take to get back on your feet
Thank you for the great talk. Having an ankle replacement in 3 days❤

Great video Dr O'Carrigan.
Thank you Dr O’Carrigan for repairing my Achilles so quickly and professionally. Back at work 3 weeks after surgery. Forever grateful. 😇 Michelle.

A fabulous explanation. Thank you.
The after effects of General Anastesia will be worse than the ankle replacement surgery. Especially according to your age. Good luck
I had ankle replacement 2019. So much nerve damage and foot has turned up. So I walk on the outside of my foot.

This was by a doctor in Fl.
@@DeveraEakins sorry you have to bear that pain, what happened to your ankle where you needed replacement?
