What : What is your question? Did you walk on your foot during the first 2 months? That would explain how the fusion didn't take or how the screw broke.

COMPLICATIONS: No surgery, or surgeon, has a 100% success rate. Unfortunately, complications happen even with compliant patients. Return to your surgeon and trust his/her advice as to what to do next. Good luck!
