I am 13 months post-op. Xray and CT show no fusion - but I  have no pain. 

Dr. said the reason my ankle may not have fused is that this is my 5th surgery, and the blood flow to my ankle is compromised. I am also 68 yrs old.  I am taking forteo (although surgeon saw no osteoporosis in my ankle bones) and human growth hormone shots daily, along with 10,000 units of D3, B complex and Calcium pills with chelated magnesium.

Doctor said he could operate again, and add some bone plus biologic to force healing.

Oh sorry to hear that and fusion is tricky . My ankle was fused years ago and now have arthritis in it very painful and blood flow issues. I wear compression socks. So my goodness sorry to say I wish I didn't have it fused because it can't be repaired.

Hope you can find a good solution since your doing all you can to help it . Sending healing blessings for a complete recovery.
