hello, If you have one artery blocked but rest are fine i can there is no problem with surgery. You have to find out cause of blockage, and if it is smoking or atherosclerosis, you may need some life style modification like avoiding smoking, leaving high fat diet. At present first thing is to go ahead with foot surgery to remove the bone.
