Tiago, Please let us know how you are doing now and how everything is going for you per the fusion. I am a 65 year old woman and have had 5 surgeries (two Total Ankle Replacements and 2 revisions and 1 to remove hardware due to infection) and 7 weeks of picc-line due to my bad ankle. I must now have whether to just get a below the knee amputation or try a fusion. I am very short on remaining bone so the doc is planning on using bone from my pelvic area for the fusion. Any information you (or anyone else has) has would be hugely appreciated.
