I am a 37 year old woman who had a traumatic injury at age 11 with complete fracture of all bones in the ankle. I had hardware put in and removed a year or so later. I have had trouble over the last couple of years with increasing pain and locking of the joint. Last month I had bone chips removed and my surgeon informed me that I have severe arthritis in one joint and moderate in all the other joints. He is suggesting that I may need ankle replacement or fusion soon. The information available is not plentiful and I wonder if anyone in Canada has had an ankle replacement, and if so, how long did you wait, who did it and was it successful. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has had this done regardless of where you are from and what your experience was. Would you recommend it? Thanks to anyone who can provide some information.
