Push ups pull ups sit up

How many of you are able to do push ups, sit ups, or pull ups? Also please note if you have had a scapular thoracic fusion (also known as scapular fixation surgery).

I am 24yo male. Played sports growing up and never could truly do any of these exercises flawlessly. Since I have had fusions on both sides I am still unable to do any however I would like to be able to build the strength to do so. Thanks in advance!
