My doctor said I have a fracture in my ankle and foot and recommended surgery, warning that without it there's a 30-35% chance of developing arthritis. I'm not sure what to do should I go ahead with the surgery or are there other options?
If surgery is recommended due to the risk of arthritis, it’s worth considering to prevent long-term complications. Consult a second opinion if unsure about the surgery or explore non-surgical alternatives like a cast or brace.
