Post-op care: Ankle fusion usually requires the patient to be non-weight bearing and to use wheelchair/crutches for mobility. In planning your post-op, consider your support system and living conditions. How many stairs are in the house? Will there be someone to cook, clean, look after the kids, walk the dogs? Ideally, one foot at a time is the safest to minimize falls/complications.
