Talus fusions from climbing... 29-May-2018 At 4:58:15 PM salty crag

Thanks trogster for adding to your original thread and updating. Ankle injuries seem to be part of climbing (bouldering) and there have been a few bad ones recently. I rolled mine bouldering at Andersons 6 weeks ago, broke a piece off the base of the fib, torn cartilage and ruptured ligaments. The surgeon is pretty confident he can clean it up and allow me a few more years before the fusion.

Reading some of the replies above has highlighted the importance of doing the hard yards re exercise and strengthening of the joint. Be keen to know what things worked best for you, I'm rural remote and access to specialists is limited at best so I'm searching online for ways to strengthen and support.

Back to trad for me, bouldering is way too dangerous!
