General anesthesia is probably best
A combination of versed, fentanyl and propofol. Should also consider the regional technique of spinal, epidural, or peripheral nerve block in addition to the sedation.
There are numerous drugs that can be used for sedation. The choice will depend on your medical conditions, availability of drugs, and the individual administering the sedation.
The sedative of choice for your anesthesiologist.
Anesthesia will vary depending on procedure performed and doctor preference. I recommend you schedule an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation
A combination of general anesthesia with local/regional anesthesia
