Ankle replacements have greatly improved over the last decade and at your age you could be a good candidate.
I would highly recommend finding a foot and ankle fellowship trained Ortho surgeon in your area who does fusions AND replacements. A good majority of these specialists will have experience with both procedures and can help you decide what would work best in your case.

The Dr. I am seeing comes highly recommended by my personal ortho who has performed 2 joint surgeries on me over the years, rotator cuff and elbow. He flat told me he would not feel qualified to deal with my ankle and recommended the guy he'd trust, and that's who I'm seeing.
Plus I have a friend who was a salesman for Stryker and sold all the parts for joint replacement and he knows the Dr. I'm seeing and he too highly recommended him.
I have an appointment to see him this coming Monday to make a decision.
I truly appreciate all the input you folks have given so far.

Sorry. Read through it too quick. I imagine ankle replacement will be superior at some point but not sure it is yet. Can't imagine either of them are the funniest thing to go through.
