Holiday after ankle fusion

emsarchOA

Hi all I’m due to go on holiday to Cyprus 14 weeks after ankle fusion surgery just wondering you had any views on if this will be doable? Aware I may still be in a boot thanks

Oooh that sounds a lovely place to be going @emsarchOA

Perhaps if you are prepared to rest a lot you'd be ok. I have no personal experience myself so did you this search:

https://community.versusarthritis.org/search?domain=all_content&query=recovery%20after%20ankle%20fusion&scope=site&source=community

Hope there is something to help there or at least some people who've had their's done who are still posting.

If you put an @ in front of their username they should get an email from V A telling them there's a post with their name in it, or you can try a personal message to them. Top right of the page the little envelope icon.

Best of luck.

You may have to get medical insurance as you know 3 months in plaster air boot 8 weeks then learn to walk again..

I had a Talus fusion in 2018 left ankle and Sub Talus in 2020 but i would say you should be ok i was walking about 2miles per day with the airboot on...
