Hi Anon - Thank you for writing and for sharing your story. It sounds like you have a lot of concerns and worries. The EmpowHER site is a place where women - of any age - can talk freely with other women, ask questions, and share information. I hope other women who've had this procedure will write in response to your post and answer your questions. There are also posts on the site from women who have had this procedure and written about it and you can contact them directly through the site email system if you register as a user.
We have a series of videos on the site with Dr. Eric Horton about ankle fusion that you may also find helpful. Dr. Horton is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in lower extremity conditions and ankle and foot conditions with about 10 years experience in treating a wide range of adult, juvenile, and childhood orthopedic disorders including trauma, sports injuries, arthritis, leg deformities, and other musculoskeletal conditions of the body.
You will find additional information at the following posts:
