i will be undergoing a ankle fusion (R) on the 31 st january 2011
i understand the operatioanal jargon and procedures (i think ) and i am very nervous .
What i need to know is driving a car ,wearing high heel shoes ,getting in long pants whilst ankle is fused in a fixed position how are the past patients coping with this and other issues such as walking impact on other leg and body parts that have to compensate ect ect
