I had a auto accident and my elbow shattered into pieces. The DR said it crumbled more when he placed a plate with screws. I have lost a great deal of function, Limited use and some pain. The bones in the ankle are likened to a puzzle. It sometimes does not go back into place. Eventually it will form a callus of calcium around the bone and it fuses on its own. You need to exercise that foot so it does not freeze. Hope that helps
Get an ankle replacement.............Had mine 2 years ago...10 weeks on crutches then some PT.........absolutely pain free!

Hello, Good to hear your good news. Are you able to run and hike? I am a soccer player. Not sure I can come still play after a replacement, but would like to try. Any help you can give me is much appreciated.
