  • Do they put you to sleep for ankle surgery?

    General Anesthesia is an option. This most likely won’t require a breathing tube but an alternative device (LMA) that’s lets you breath on your own. My personal choice would be a spinal anesthetic if there are no contraindications. For a bigger procedure on your ankle a nerve block may also be indicated. This would help with pain after surgery.
