Have you discussed any possible options with your doctor or a surgeon?

I have discussed ankle replacement or fusion for years and years. The ankle was severely shattered, and replacement surgery has just not been advanced enough for my situation. I actually have an appointment next week for surgery consultation with the newer options, which I do from time to time to stay updated. We will see! I will check out the link. Thanks!

I have had discussions for years, especially since my mid 40’s. The early ankle replacements were just in their infancy, for my ankle damage. I have continued to follow the progress and now may be my opportunity, with the new replacement that is available. We will see. Age 73, but young!
