Good luck with the operation! Tell them you want ARP Fasteners. your balance is important!
Just don't wait to long like I did, the arthritis starts on into the bones past the joint.im looking for the joint replacement, good luck ed
never thought of that.You probably kicked him in the face during the operation! Reflexes you know!
Yes the rear most joint is completely fused. The forward joint still has normal motion.If your toe is completely fused you might have to rocker the sole of your shoe. Did the doctor shorten the toe slightly?
Don't let them use Philips screws....the heads round out too easily and then they'll need to use a screw-extractor to remove them.Wonder if they use torx or Phillips lol , I will have to ask.
I use square drives all the time - they are the best screws out there now.
See post 24. Sounds like surgery is done and all went wellDon't let them use Philips screws....the heads round out too easily and then they'll need to use a screw-extractor to remove them.
After that maybe they will have to heli-coil your toe.
Best of luck with the surgery.
Glad your surgery went well. (somehow I missed page 2.)Funny thing.... my surgeon has a black eye today and a spilt lip.
thanks, I'm taking the 5th at this point.Glad your surgery went well. (somehow I missed page 2.)
I hope the surgeon is on the mend now also......sounds like a good story waiting to be told there.
I had forgot about him,Does it look like Tom Dempsey?

It's Robertson dammit!I use square drives all the time - they are the best screws out there now.
Best of luck! Hope goes well!!Well it's here, going in this early AM to Des Moines for my big toe joint fusion.
Bad part is the no weight on that foot for a few weeks,
Glad I am getting it done, the cortisone injections only last a couple months at this point.
Wonder if they use torx or Phillips lol , I will have to ask.
Catch you guys later.
