How dangerous is ankle surgery?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
not anymore than ot: If you are healthy and it is necessary angle surgery is no more dangerous than any other bone surgery. Just make sure you're having it done by someone that does it very often.

Not: All surgeries have risks and many risks are not due to the surgery itself but things like anesthesia.
