Hi, I had infection in my ankle joint which left my ankle partially fused. I decided not have full fusion as I found out about a brace - an offloader by Blatchford UK - it is designed for fused ankles and now I am running and walking without pain, my story is here

Also before considering fusion, I was told I would know how much it had healed after around 3 months of my last surgery. By then I was still in a lot of pain and thought was as good as it was going to get. However, one year later the pain has reduced considerably and although I don't have as much of my ankle - I can't hop, for example, it healed a lot more over time than I was told. :)
