This was a follow up visit 11 yrs after MY TOTAL LEFT ANKLE REPLACEMENT when I was feeling some unusual discomfort in my joint replacement. Apparently Ivhave some unusual inflammation of the joint not related to the prosthesis. He recommended thatvI do a CT scan to confirm....working on that! Dr. Bartel was extremely knowledgeable and really cared about my ailment spending a great deal of time answering all of my questions!
