A member asked:
After breaking every bone in foot 5 years ago what surgery can be performed to alleviate the acute pain in the ankles where the bones have calcified?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
A Few Options: There are several options depending on the severity of the break and your overall medical history. If you are truly suffering from arthritis of the ankle that doesn't respond to conservative treatments, surgical options are available including ankle joint replacements and ankle fusions.
