I recently in May 2016 had a left ankle fusion with many PT sessions and now 7 months later I still have edema and pain, especially heel pain. I recently seen my surgeon and he explained to me that my bone infusion healed very well and he can go in and remove the hardware which is a plate along with 4 screws to both sides of my ankle. He told me that I would have to wear the knee high boot, that I wore after they removed he cast after my ankle fusion surgery. He stated the surgery is in and out the same day, and recovery is 4 weeks.
