The knee replacement surgery took care of that: now when I walk both feet are pointing in the same direction. So I ditched the spacer.

Glad you got it sorted, I work at a hospital and all the ortho surgeons say I will never get a knee because of my ankle, getting ready to go out of KP for a second opinion.

What part was crooked and how did the knee fix it?
