Recovery Post Ankle Fusion Surgery | Professor Nima Heidari | Orthopaedic Specialists

Описание: om had a traumatic snowboarding accident resulting in fracture of his his left ankle. After the initial surgery elsewhere to stabilise his ankle, he consulted Prof Nima Heidari to discuss the damage and a treatment plan.

Professor Heidari warned that, due to joint damage, his ankle movement would be reduced and chronic arthritis could follow.
Tom had an ankle fusion and, during the surgery, a Taylor Spatial Frame was fitted. The surgery was successful and Tom went home just four days later.

In six months time Tom’s taylor spatial frame was removed. Tom’s leg was bandaged and he was advised to wear an air boot. Tom started to weight bear with the air boot after 3-weeks and after just 5-weeks he was riding his bike. Tom remarks, “By 8 weeks, I was walking steadily without the air boot.I carried on progressing and started a physio programme.”

Tom can now race mountain bikes, ride a road bike with no issues and walk his dog for 2-3 miles every day.

Professor Heidari concludes: “I am so pleased Tom has done so well after his serious injury. In cases such as Tom, it is a long journey. Whilst at the beginning it is difficult to appreciate that things will improve, however in time and with hard work and patience, they will get back to normal.”
