Hmph: This is a complicated questions with many different possible outcomes. I would recommend that you visit different speasliclist who specialize in foot/ankle reconsturctions and get at least 2 opinons. Those who are board certified may give you the best answers e.g. American college of foot and ankle surgeons acfas and american board of podiatric surgery abps.

Coalition: As stated there are lots of things to consider. Seek some opinions - this is nothing to approach lightly
