No ankle joint

Is there any way to get my ankle joint to self fuse without surgery and putting metal back in my lega and ankle?

Brief summary. Had car accident on December 7 2015. Had several surgeries. I broke my ankle and my leg just above ankle. I ended up with bone infection from the metal they put in my leg. I have next to no ankle joint and in severe pain when I walk or up trying to do things.

I just got out of hospital from several bleeding ulcers from taking 500 mg of naproxen sodium daily for over a year.

Need. Help finding a solution. Also the rest of my joints are setting in with arthritis.
