Talus fusions from climbing... 21-Oct-2006 At 6:18:39 PM trogster
Message
Was wondering if anyone out there is still successfuly climbing after having a subtalar fusion? I fractured and dislocated my talus over 18 months ago while climbing. Had surgery (three screws) and have only just started climbing again. However it looks like a subtalar fusion is on the cards. Because of the injury i walk more on the side of my foot ( a result of the subtalar joint being f---ed) and I have been told it's only a matter of time before this will compound and cause problems elsewhere (ankle, knee etc). Surgeon suggests to cut my losses and get a fusion reasonably quick. Has anyone had a similar experience, and is still climbing successfully after the fusion?
