Is there a shot my mother can take to remove the bone stuck in her ankle joint?

She needs to talk to a doctor about her options.

ummm, I trust you are meaning a bone fragment rather than a bone (we all have bones in our ankles). I had a bone fragment in my ankle and had to have it surgically removed and I am much better for having had it removed. My doc did the surgery starting with an arthroscopic procedure to remove a number of the fragments and then cut my ankle open to deal with the tendon problem.

Welcome to Fluther. Hell of a starting question!

I’d be VERY leery of getting a shot that could dissolve unwanted bone fragments. There’s a lot more “wanted” bone in my body; how does “a shot” know which to keep and which to dissolve?

No thanks. I’d prefer a skilled surgeon for this one.

I would get a second opinion and speak with a foot and ankle surgeon

ok thanks guys, looks like tendon cutting is the only route.
