No best way to ruin the replacement is to run on it
Probably, but you should discuss this with your surgeon.
Not likely
You will need to ask your surgeon since every patient is different but most people can at least jog although it may take up to a year.Dr. Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS
Hi! you need to talk to your team but you can return to activities but may need some modifications.
Usually, especially if you ran before.
In most cases if someone is a heavy runner, I personally would recommend a ankle fusion not an ankle replacement.
Discuss with your surgeon.
This is a very complex question. Please seek advice from a Surgeon that do this type of surgery.
It is not recommended to perform high-impact activity on an artificial joint. It will wear out the joint.
