It doesn't appear that my pesky ankle will make it through another winter season... though, I may very well try! I am hoping to find someone with personal experience or knows of someone that has skied after an ankle fusion? The reason for my fusion is post traumatic arthritis from a compound tib/fib fracture back in 1997. My ankle joint is bone on bone and now anatomically deforming. My ankle really skis well in it's current state, with the boot like an awesome cast. However, it's everything else like walking and such that has become the bigger issue. That being said, I would hate to lose the ability to ski, which is the one thing I can actually do in its current state. Thus,I would love to speak with someone who has experience with the ankle fusion surgery, recovery, and of course skiing!
