    hello, I want to ask you if you have problems with the total ankle fusion when you walk on uneven, bumpy terrain, I have not yet the ankle fusion, I had a sprain with Fra ture and calcaneus, I am recovering, I was operated on and my foot was debrided sinus tarsi and fixed with a talus and calcaneus screw in the tarsi sinus area and that screw limits my movement on rough terrain, seeing that you can move the ankle well from the navicular, I can at the moment just need a little more training to be able to move the ankle like you, how did you manage to be able to move the ankle through the other joints?
