Chronic osteoarthritis from multiple ankle sprains when I was younger. It's getting a little more sore every year, and 800 mg. of Ibuprofen ain't what it used to be.

I've done some checking on-line, and been to two good orthopedic surgeons. Both said I'm not a candidate for ankle replacement, I'm not old enough and my activity level would wear out the prosthesis.

I'm not ready for fusion yet, but the day is coming so I just wanted to get some opinions from guys who've done it.
