Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am dr akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. I need to see x rays of affected ankle to give an opinion. Both procedures have their pros and cons, options have to be kept in front of you after clinical examination and x rays but decision will have to be yours. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & regards dr akshay kumar saxena consultant orthopaedics fortis hospital, new delhi
