I dunno. I blew up my heel and ankle and fusion was an option, but we didn't take it. Don't know why�it was up to the Doc. Anyway I was briefed before the surgery that sidehilling would be tough as the ankle would have no flex�so good boots and being careful would be the order of the day.
As it turned out with mine theres enough scar tissue in and on the ankle that the damn thing doesn't have any flex anyway�.
