Ankle fusion surgery is performed when the joint becomes worn out, most commonly due to arthritis. Before this surgery is performed, it is common for the patient to be in a high amount of pain. During the surgery, the surgeon removes the cartilage of the knee joint. After surgery, there is a long recovery process in which the patient wears a cast and keeps weight off of the joint for 8 to 12 weeks. After the cast is removed, the patient begin physical therapy. Throughout the entire process, x-rays are taken to make sure that the bones are fusing properly. After complete recovery, a person can typically walk normally.
