Ankle Arthrodesis

A letter from a patient who had Ankle Arthrodesis (Fusion) performed by Mr Adam Budgen

Hi Adam,

It was nice to meet with you again on Thursday for my follow up appointment.

I must say that I have found my ankle fusion to be a total success and I am delighted with the end result.

Prior to my operation on 7th October 2016 I was barely able to walk and managing the pain was a daily challenge.

Fast forward to today and I am back golfing, cycling and able to carry out daily duties absolutely pain free.

I would like to thank you for your professional opinion and recommendation prior to the operation and giving me back an excellent quality of life.

I would highly recommend a fusion for patients who are living with end stage arthritis.

Thank you again for professionalism in making the operation a life changing success.

Regards,
MD

What our patients say

I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone with the same condition, who is eligible, to consider Ankle Replacement procedure. It has restored my quality of life!

After discussion with my surgeon Mr Budgeon I decided to have Ankle Fusio and let me tell everybody its the best decision that I could have made. I have made a full recovery from both ops and I am walking pain free.

Just had to let you know how delighted I am with my new Sylastic implant. The healing of the wound and everything has been perfect. I also managed to go walking in the Dales again at the weekend, so as you can see life is good.

P. M.

Thank you Dr Budgen for making my feet happy again. The difference is amazing!

A massive thank you for the Keyhole Surgery you performed on my Bunion. I can honestly say it has been brilliant from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate if I ever needed this operation again.

After you operated I only took painkillers for one day as they were simply not necessary. Thank you so much for the excellence of the operation you carried out on my First MTP Joint.

I would like to say how pleased I am with the result of my recent bunion operation. During my recovery period I have been in no pain whatsoever!!!! Many Thanks

The operation was a great success and was clearly carried out with a degree of expertise and finesse, which made it heal really well with a minimum of discomfort from even the early stages

Thank you for the diagnosis and corrective procedure on my ankle. I completed a cycle ride covering over 1000 miles and ascending more than twice the height of Everest. This would not have been possible without your work.

After years of pain, I can finally run pain free and it is just incredible.
