This Chicago, South Loop & Elmhurst Orthopedic Podiatrist says.......

Dear Ahmed,

All surgeries have risks and rewards.
If you are having pain and the doctors feel the pain will lessen-then that alone is a pretty good reason to have the legs fixed.There is also a good chance it may lessen any arthritis in the future.
There is always a very small chance of an infection, it not healing-or other risks. Again-All surgeries have risks and rewards.
The leg surgery itself is not very dangerous and has more rewards than risks.
Two months to heal is about right- May improve by 1-2 weeks with physical therapy.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck
