This can result in serious arthritis of the foot and ankle. Hey, Armac. So this sounds like a big problem. So avascular necrosis of the talus is where you lose the blood supply to that bone of the ankle, and that's sort of the base of the ankle joint. This can result in serious arthritis of the foot and ankle. And it sounds like you've had a failed surgery. A good option would be bone marrow aspirate in some cases, but in some cases you might need surgery. So I would certainly consult your specialist about that. We'd be happy to have you come in and see us if you'd like. Another option would be peptide therapy. So that's certainly something you can talk to a functional medicine, medicine and integrative specialist about. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, you let me know.
