Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 , why didn't you get a walker to use in the house when you took your braces off? What is a triple arthrodesis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 I have the same problem, but walkers are a pain to use and too cumbersome for daily use....I unfortunately have to keep my braces/shoes on until I go to bed otherwise I cannot walk around and get anything done...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 G'day answers to questions I do use cutches and still do (although not around the house) Walking devices didn't prevent my ankles folding. The Triple - foot surgery involving fusing of the bones to prevent the foot rolling. Fusing the ankle. Best thing I ever did. Can walk bare feet around the house with n problem. Unstable ground is also no problem. all the best Challenges Met Together here at !
