So surgery...

It seems that after about 4 years I'll need to fuse my ankle. Unfortunately the subtler joint fusion I received in August didn't fuse all the way and the infection I got in November and second surgery in December to remove the screws didn't help. I recently just got a steroid shot (again) and of course it didn't help a bit.

I'm 20 and have done my full research on all my options but my question is does anyone know the youngest person to get a full ankle fusion? I haven't read anything on anyone under the age of at least 30 but I know someone who had there's fused at 23/24.
