what is the treatment for osteochondral lesions? Does RPR help with healing?

I've come to the conclusion that once you fk up an ankle it's just gonna hurt the rest of your damn life and to just get over it.

Hi thanks. Have you done this procedure with persistent sesamoiditis/tendinitis at the sesamoiditis? I have tried shockwave steroids and prp and results have been mixed. Keeps coming back. 13yrs. Thanks.

Congratulations on your successful surgery and thank you for your firefighter service.

Thank you for this video. I had bunion surgery in 2005, and it needs to be done again and properly this time. Your explanation was very informative.

Can anyone that’s had this procedure comment their recovery time and experience? Oh and also how has your range of motion been since you’ve had it done? I’m in the research phase before I schedule my surgery and I do better with more information. Please help a girl out! TIA 😊

Not one of these videos or these doctors will tell you the truth. I am 8 weeks post op, I can barely walk and can't fit into anything but a medical boot from all of the swelling.

I would do the implant . Thank. You for information.

My foot is normal again but the recovery really sucks. Very uncomfortable. Expensive too.

Thank you for explaining the difference. I asked my podiatrist today about botox and PRP but she said there are no proven studies and there is a 50/50 chance. From what I know about PRP, it seems to work...for the most part. Botox on this part of the body is new. annnnd because the FDA hasn't approved it, it's not covered by insurance. There are alot of treatments that work that are not approved by the FDA or have had many studies. I give you one example, Herbs for many health issues, Yes it takes longer and may not be for everyone but they do work. Anyway, Thanks again for the breakdown of all three procedures.

Would you review AlphaMet ISD (formerly known as Cyclaplex)? It is better than mini tightrope and returns anatomical function.

I am so happy with my feet ! I had my left foot done last year, and my right foot done last month. My surgeon corrected my very severe bunions, with a Lapidus procedure, rotated the Halux and inserted titanium plates and screws, and also did the Atkins Osteotomy. I don’t mind being off my foot, it is long term success that I want, not a “ Quick Fix” only to have the bunions “ recur “ in a few years . I have complete confidence in my Orthopedic surgeon, I did my research and actually decided on his Medical Practice which is an hour’s drive from my home. ( The two big, local hospitals did not offer modern procedures, only old fashioned bunioneictomies). I would advise anyone to do their research, and to borrow or purchase a Knee Rover, don’t even waste your money on crutches. Be well! And thank you to this doctor who posted this honest, informative video😊

Too bad they probably cut off the part where he talked about the permanent toe numbness from removing the nerve.

Awesome teaching and break down on the procedures. Thank you!

Thank you

I had my surgery on 21st Sept, surgery lasted 2 hours and I walked home alone with a little help of crutches. I can work after 6 weeks.

I had this surgery, combined with an Achilles lengthening and a Kidner's procedure to remove a very large accessory navicular bone all at once. I am on week 7 with a cast now. Getting the cast off in a few days and then it's into a boot and I'll be beginning weight bearing. I have severe atrophy in my leg muscles, and I doubt I'll be able to walk very well for several weeks, and then onto rehab. God knows how long this will take.

I had a cheilectomy in 2014. It wasn't that successful but reduced pain. My toe is stiffening up again. Frustrated that I can't do things like walking lunges or sprint. Running with Hoka trainers is fine though. Pain is starting to kick in so wondering if this a robust option that will support running and carrying weight on my back when I go hiking

I also have Haglunds Deformity and Retrocalcaneal heel spur on both feet. Hope to have my surgery soon.

I’m like 4 days post op this is fucken hell dawg

I am going to have this surgery, too. It is so nice to see someone's pain relieved by this

I wish I could go back in time and choose NOT to have Dr. Baravarian at University Foot and Ankle Institute perform my lapidus bunionectomy. It remains a regret. The surgery had to be corrected. The "Forever Bunionectomy" lasted less than a year.

I had prp injections 11 months ago. Best results possible! Painful injections, but prp cured my plantar fasciitis, torn ligaments, and ankle sprain. No drugs!

Seems easy enough might do it at home

Wow....what an educational video. Thank you Dr. Baravarian!

I survived without puking. Thank God for those surgeons who have strong stomachs. The very end when the nurse, surgeon, whoever it was inserted his finger into the wound to push something down made me squirm.

just do not do it. Multiple reasons.. i had both implants removed in last 2 years. 1st reason. this will not last forever.. it will degrade. it can shift, it will still hurt your bone and you will feel it everyday (just like any metal). Stability is also not great. Push-off is minimal. you get a 20% version of a normal toe, just fake in every aspect. Fusion is the only way to go

Look up mini tightrope, dr. Sadrieh. No screws or pins.

What about the tightrope surgery being done on California. It was shown in the doctors show. I am looking into that.

The removal of the deformity is satisfying to watch. It looks like I might need this surgery and I can't wait to get it. Tired of walking with pain.

Hey, Bob. No comment?

I thought having pain for 8 months was a long time! Kathleen’s was 10 years! Like her I had minimal discomfort postoperative.

Carteva sounds not great.

I'm having a revision surgery on an unsuccessful lapiplasty from last year. I'm so disappointed. All that pain for very little change. And, he was a highly recommended surgeon. Much more involved surgery to remove the hardware, etc. Thank you for your explanation of the different techniques.

I need this surgery. I've been walking on severe achilles and heel spurs on both feet for 3 years, my right for 5. I'm afraid of the recovery time. Where are you located? I will fly there.

is there any fusion happening with these methods?

Thanks for explaining the differences! Had 2 consultations with foot Dr’s for bone spurs on the back of the heel. One wants to completely remove the achilles to remove a bone spur and the other Dr wants to do some kind of achilles anchoring also messing with the achilles. I had an MRI and it shows a healthy strong achilles with no minor or major tears so Im hesitant to mess with the achilles at all. Im seeing a Dr at Cleveland Clinic that does the tenjet procedure as I feel that may be my best course of action. Thank you for the information!!

Any reported side effects of risks of Osseo? Other otherwise this looks amazing

Sounds like a job for a cabinet maker !!! Screw jobs!!!

How refreshing it is to listen to an expert who delivers the presentation with honesty. And thank you to taking advantage of the KZbin platform accessible to all researching the best avenue to take. Most impressive, offering a consultation for out of towners and recommending an experienced foot surgeon. Thank you for your service to all.

Which toe will be permanently nerveless ?

How was the recovery? I wore a sock today (8 days after the surgery) and hurt so bad!! Maybe I’m a bit to anxious. I was unable to use shoes, except for a couple of tennis that were to loose due to years of use. I play soccer and after 40 minutes with my soccer shoes I felt that indescriptible pain in my toes, and sometimes felt like crying honestly. One of the worst pains I’ve ever experienced.

I'm 11 days post op and no where close to being able to walk.

Very good information! Thank you. My bunion is getting worse, having pain daily, heal and bottom of big toe hurt twice as much. I see the 2nd dr. Mid Nov. also in my 60's.

I had an ankle tendon graft surgery about 14 years ago, due to multiple ankle sprains. I recently sprained this same ankle pretty bad, and my ankle is now swollen extensively. There’s no bruising, just pain and swelling. And I’ve followed normal rice techniques since. I’m not sure what the odds are that I tore the graft or not. I just know I don’t want that surgery again. How does your procedure work, and what is the recovery time?

Titanium technology? Lol.

*This recovery time is not accurate*
