Ankle FAQs           

Fred, a 44 year-old man from New York with severe arthritis:

I was a 44 year-old with extreme arthritis and bone spur pain that at times I felt like chopping my foot off with an ax.  It took 2 hours every night of tossing and turning before falling asleep.  After surgery, the pain is gone, and I only experience an occasional stiffness, which is usually gone in 5 minutes.  One year after surgery, I was able to play 18 holes of golf.  Bad shots no longer bothered me, as I was just so happy to be able to walk!  The quality of my life has soared by 1000%.  Everyday activities are joyful, not burdensome.
