I am due to have subtalar fusion is four weeks. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been putting this surgery off for 5 years. Seen 4 different surgeons and they all agree on this fusion. My surgeon did say I would be able to use a knee rider and he does remove the surgical screws on 80% of his patients. Removing the screws is a small operation with a two week recovery. Is there anyone on this forum who has had subtalar fusion as a result of RA? If so, what was your outcome? Of course I am nervous about the operation! Any comment would be appreciated!!
