Yeah, it's the only weight bearing compound triplanar joint in the body. So it's a lot more complex than something like the ball and socket joint of your hip. That's why ankle and foot surgeries face a lot more complications and need for revisions compared to most other orthopedic operations.

I recall the rep referring to the sizers as "lollipop butts" ...and not much else, lol.
