Hi Anonymous,
Do you have to have a subtalar fusion? I had a complete pantalar fusion which includes the fusion of the subtalar joint. I don't know how different the recovery process is for a subtalar fusion, but I'm happy to share some of my experience with you.
I started PT about 3 1/2 months after my surgery. I went three times a week at the beginning as I made progress it went down to twice a week and then towards the end I was only going once a week.
Have you asked your doctor about the recovery process (including PT) and how long it will take to heal?
Good luck and let me know if you do have this procedure done.
