At Family Foot & Leg Center, we believe that every step should be pain-free. If chronic foot pain or arthritis is limiting your mobility, an arthrodesis procedure could be the solution you’ve been searching for. Check out this incredible transformation! 🔍✨ Our before-and-after X-ray showcases how this advanced surgical technique helps restore function, alleviate pain, and improve quality of life.
What is Arthrodesis?
Arthrodesis, also known as joint fusion, is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pain in a severely damaged or arthritic joint. By fusing bones together, we eliminate movement in the affected joint, reducing pain and increasing stability. This procedure is commonly performed in the ankle, midfoot, or big toe joints for patients suffering from:
✅ Severe arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis)
✅ Chronic pain and instability in the foot or ankle
✅ Deformities that impair walking or daily activities
✅ Failed previous surgeries
The Transformation: Before & After X-Ray
Our latest patient success story highlights the power of arthrodesis! Before the procedure, the affected joint showed severe degeneration, limiting movement and causing intense discomfort. Post-surgery, the fusion is complete, stabilizing the foot and significantly reducing pain—allowing our patient to regain confidence with every step!
What to Expect After Surgery
While recovery varies for each patient, the typical healing journey includes:
🩺 Immobilization: The foot is placed in a cast or boot to allow proper healing.
🚶 Gradual weight-bearing: Patients start non-weight-bearing and progress to walking with support.
⏳ Healing Time: Full fusion can take several months, but pain relief is often noticeable early in recovery.
