Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / May 2006Ankle Fusion
I have pvns in the ankle and arthritis of the talor navicular joint. I have seen a surgeon here in London and wants to surgically remove the PVNS and fuse the joint. I am worried I will be worse after the op. Any advice or comments welcome! Rebecca >I have pvns in the ankle and arthritis of the talor navicular joint.

Hope someone comes along soon to help Splodge >I have pvns in the ankle and arthritis of the talor navicular joint.

However, that may be due to a general lack of flexibility in the front part of her foot. John --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
