Hello, I ve recently undergone left foot subtalar and calcaneocuboid arthrodesis. As a result and unknown to me, my arch become more pronounced on the operated foot. I am flat footed on the right. This feels very uncomfortable and painful. In addition, there is non union at both sites and there exists a strong possibly of revision surgery with autograft. Can my left foot return to a flatter arch as on my right with revision? I m only 35 and this has caused a considerable amount of distress in my life. Thanks for your time.
