A member asked:
Can you tell me about an ankle fusion for correction of a tarsal coalition?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Fusion: Without the x rays in front of me that would be very difficult. Speak to your treating physician and ask questions. Then get a second opinion if you are unsure

See below: Often times it is not the ankle that is fused for tarsal coalition but what is done is a triple arthrodesis fusing bones of the foot and not the ankle.
