Minneapolis Ankle Fusion Attorney

Ankle fusion is a surgical procedure that removes the cartilage surfaces of the ankle joint to allow and promote the fusion of the tibia and the talus. Fusion may be recommended if you have suffered a severe ankle fracture that never healed or resulted in chronic, long-term pain. A successful ankle fusion does not wear out like an artificial ankle.

There are two methods of performing ankle fusion surgery:

• arthroscopic – has a higher percentage of achieving fusion, heals more quickly
• open – takes less time in surgery, but takes longer to heal

Complications with Ankle Fusion

The possibility exists for serious complications with ankle fusion surgery. The complications include nerve damage, blood vessel damage, infection, malunion, or nonunion.
