I'm 76 and had midfoot fusion surgery in April. There is a midfoot fusion discussion group you can join on FB. I had 2nd and 3rd TMT and medium and medial navicular cuneiform joints done for four-fusion with 4 clamps and cadaver bone. Mine was end-stage arthrodesis. I didn't have a choice. Would end up in wheelchair if not done. I had NWB for 6 weeks when it fused. It is draining on your body and mentally draining. Get on the site I mentioned. Good luck!
