propofol
This can be anywhere from light sedation, to a nerve block with sedation, to a general anesthetic. This all depends upon the specific injury, and preferences of the surgeon and yourself.
Depends on the surgeon, place of surgery, surgeon preference, and type of surgery being done, I would ask that you address this with your surgeon.
Any type of anesthesia will work, but an ankle block is ideal for foot surgery.
Anesthesia will vary based on procedure performed and Doctor preference. I recommend you schedule an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation
Most digital fractures do not require surgery. If you do need surgery, a combination of local anesthesia in conjunction with either general anesthesia or conscious sedation will be used
Normally, local block with conscious sedation.
