A member asked:
I recently had a triple arthrodesis. i know i lost side to side motion. are there certain activities that i'll no longer be able to do?

Yes.: You did not say which joint but is usually the ankle. You lose side to side and flexion/ extension. The joint is fixed and will not move. Will need to learn to walk again on that side. Whole new approach. Best wishes.
