Hello @blue45, I combined your new knee fusion discussion with your previous discussion titled, "Has anyone had knee arthrodesis (fused knee) surgery done?" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anyone-had-knee-arthrodesis-fused-knee-surgery-done/.
I'd like to also invite @lynettegable and @jasonh6 who have also discussed a fused knee on Mayo Clinic Connect. It looks like @michellemu1992 is also facing a decision on whether or not to have a knee fusion as well. @fred811 also posed the question on whether or not a knee fusion is reversible, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/knee-fusion-reversal/, where @ralph1 talked about a reversal of their knee fusion.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I am trying to make a decision for a fusion or a knee replacement for the third time. Doctor say it will take 4months to heal when he take out then he will put the new knee in. He has to build up the knew with cadaver bone and other stuff but it might not work. So all that work, pain, ,
time in bed because when I have the knee out I have to lay until it completely heals ab then he puts in the replacement. Or I can have it fused or amputated.
3 options and not very good ones.
It sure helped me to read your post. Pleased keep me informed of your journey. Lie me know if you find a doctor that can help you. My prayers are with you.
