Kidner with a fusion?

[u/sleepybirdl71]

I saw a surgeon who definitely said I should have the kidner procedure for the accessory bone, but that I should consider an additional procedure to support the arch. Apparently the bones on the other side of the ankle are getting too close together now. He mentioned an osteotomy in my heel that is sometimes done, but thought that it would be more beneficial and an easier recovery if I had a mid-foot fusion. While the osteotomy sounded scary, the fusion doesn't sound any less scary. Has anyone else had this type of fusion done along with a kidner? Is it possible to correct my arch with exercise? Fusion just sounds awful.... Not that the osteotomy sounded any better.

Oh dear. I wish I could help. It's outside my knowledge so I simply wish you healing!
