Ankle Replacement - 2009/06/09 18:10 I just had my heel fused May 4,09 on June 12,09 I am getting a TAR (total ankle replacement). The operation of the ankle comes in two parts..he fused my heel because I had ostero in it. Next is my TAR I am scared after reading forum and forum..etc.. I am still in the cast from my fusion of heel . When he checked the heel to put another cast on it two weeks ago..my leg was so small..was a shock because my legs were all muscle a year ago..I know it will go back to where it was..I am just hoping more on this forum to find someone who just had or had a TAR. They say that weight gain is not good when you have this TAR done..but being no mobile in this case over the last month I've gained about 10 pds. .I am only 5'2 and weight 146..this scares me also..So in ending I was hoping to find real answers..not only from my Dr. but from others who had this operation.
Thank you in advance
