Common Questions and Answers about Foot bones fused
foot
I had 6 joints in foot fused, bone graft from heel, 2 plates, several screws and fused bones shortened due to deformity and was fine until stitches were taken out and cast put on. A day later my cast is feeling too tight but color of toes is good unless I put it down. Have kept my foot up and mostly above my heart and iced for last 4 days without much relief but situation has not gotten worse. Orthopedic doc said Advil is not good as it keeps bones from healing but I need to reduce swelling.

My mother had a triple arthrodesis done about thirty years ago and the other day she tripped and hurt her foot. It wasn't damaged, but we were wondering if it is possible to repair her foot if it were to break now because 30 years ago, her doctor told her it was not possible to fix it. Is this still true?
She also broke her right arm and that arm was fused at the wrist from whatever decease she has. The question is...When bones and joints are severely deformed, and they break, can they be repaired..at least to their previous deformed state?
The Lisfranc fracture is a fracture or dislocation of the joints in your mid foot, here some small bones forms an arch on top of the foot between your ankle joint and toes.
I would suggest you to go for a second opinion and try to delay fusion and if possible go for a second surgery. If there is no scope for healing after a second opinion and recent scans then you are left with option for fusion as this will stabilize your foot.
I fractured my T2 through T12 bones and required repair surgery on my muscles and had T11 and T12 fused with screws and plates. Whenever it gets humid outside, I get really stiff. Particularly in my feet, knees, wrists, hands, fingers and elbows. Could this be a result of the hardware or just part of recuperating? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I'm 21 weeks....but I started having tailbone pain awhile ago. If I would sit for long periods of time my tailbone would hurt so bad like I fell on it or something. It actually hurts right now because I was sitting on a plastic chair outside. I heard this is common. In women the little bones in our tailbone aren't fused together like they are in men. Our tailbones need to move a little bit when we are giving birth.
Mine do that! Even if I move my foot my hips crack and pop. It's normal. Mine started doing it at 22 weeks.
Due to childhood cancer, I have had 6 hip replacements/revisions. Because of the concern of another infection and deteriorated hip bones, my Dr wants me to consider this. As he says, No Hip - No Infection. Is my hip fused in this procedure? How rough is the recovery? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Turns out arthritic carpal bones have injured tendons to 1st thumb then index finger a month later. Wrist has to be fused to prevent further damage and carpal tunnel tendon repair attempted in 2 separate surgeries. Can I do any kind of (light) weight training or use a rowing machine after healing up?
I believe I recognize that feeling of a hot, sharp sensation - as though someone lit gas on your foot. I broke both bones quite badly in my lower leg and after surgery I had the same feeling you're talking about. In my case it was nerve damage - it felt like someone was lighting matches and tossing them on my foot. Now, in the same area, I have no feeling on my foot.
What does your doctor have to say about the problems you're having?
When I lift my left foot to walk, my knee jerks and then I place my foot on ground, usually I land on forefoot. There is swelling on medial side of knee as well. and lots of stiffness. My ROM is good, Extension 0 and Flexion 133. I had uncemented TKR, and latest Xray showed bone has not fused with prosthesis yet.
Can someone help me.
Thanks.
I will never know what happened exactly, as doctors protect themselves so well, but I woke up with a paralyzed left foot. (Foot Drop). Words cannot express the horror and pain of this condition. My surgeon told me that my nerves had been "stretched" and that I would get better in six months. He kept telling me to 'wait" and that I would get better. The months ticked on and I was still paralyzed. Finally I said, "What am I waiting for?
After the surgery I woke up with pain and numbness in left leg with partial foot drop and severe low back pain. In March I had MRI, which only showed extensive epidural fibrosis at L4-L5 surrounding thecal sac and exiting L4-L5 nerve roots. I had an EMG/NCS test done a few weeks ago and results said chronic radiculopathy and chronic motor unit changes in both left and right legs along with active deinervation in left leg at L4-L5. The doctor said it is permananent nerve damage.
I had a bad fall from my attic almost two years ago now,as a result i cannot walk properly due to a damaged cuboid in my right foot, i am getting ultrasound guided injections into the joints of my foot next week, for pain if this fails my doctor advised me i will have to have my cuboid joint fused.
The doctor has told us that his x-ray (wrist) shows that his growth plates are fused. Is it possible that the x-ray reading is not accurate, or that he will continue to grow anyway? His dad and uncles are 6ft and over. The shortest man in my family is 5'8. The doctor also said his bone age is 19- don't some boys grow even after 19? Any advice?
