hi tmkep

i am waiting to have th eprocess done in september. basically they will chop the bone around the knee and take most of the knee away and will put a lot of metal plates and screws in to make the leg straight and over time the bones will fuse together, i think they leave the metal work in.
i would love to keep in touch with you via email

I have severe arthritis and my doctor recommends an Arthrodesis, or joint fusion. Does anyone know anything about this procedure?
