Seek another opinion: There are ligaments that tear in this type of injury and this may be tereated with prolotherapy without surgery. The surgery stiffens the foot and can cause strain of other joint in the foot long term. Visit www.Getprolo.Com or www.Aaomed.Org or www.Proloshot.Com for information and location of doctor to do prolotheray before any surgery is done.

Fusion: Surgery may pose the risk of subsequent limited range of motion. The incidence can be reduced with careful attention to appropriate and regular post-op pt. Try googling the search operators below... "complications rearfoot arthrodesis" excellent surgical technique, vigorous pt/rest and a positive attitude is highly recommended!
