Anesthesia can vary based on procedure. I recommend you discuss with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for particulars in your case
General anesthesia, this is a very painful procedure.
General anesthesia and local/regional nerve blocks are used in conjunction with one another for ankle surgery
