After surgery, a cast will be placed over the joint that underwent arthrodesis. Until there is x-ray evidence of fusion, use of the affected joint will be limited. The healing process can take a long time. For example, ankle arthrodesis patients are not allowed to bear weight for between 8 to 12 weeks. You should keep your leg elevated to decrease swelling and promote healing until there is evidence of fusion. You'll need to keep weight off the joint until it's fused, so crutches or wheelchairs will be in your future.
University of Illinois at Springfield Reviews. UIS is an amazing University. The experience you get at this university is what you make it. The school is working to advance in Greek Life, diversity and expanding to meet the needs of the students. No UIS is not perfect but it's perfect for me. This school is small, and quiet.
