A member asked:
Can regional anesthesia be used for ankle surgery being done to repair a maisonneuve fracture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The surgeon usually has a preference on the type of anesthesia to use. But taking the patient’s request and concerns have to be considered. Spinal anesthesia is another option to consider. Have a discussion with your doctor about your anesthesia
