Aha, then that would be emergency rather than elective

The suspension on elective surgery seems to be a contentious issue at Private Hospitals in SA:
Doctors urge SA government to ease elective surgery freeze as private hospitals sit 'idle'
Having had the vaccine, I would have thought medical students, unemployed nurses, nursing students, juicing bodybuilders and monkeys quick on the uptake would have been able to give an intramuscular injection after passing COVID-19 vaccination training.
Alright that is slightly facetious, but I'm not sure our medical resources are being best optimized when elective surgeries are suspended so specialized private hospital staff can jab a needle in someone's arm.

Who could have predicted that folding like a deck of cards and giving dodoro a 2nd rounder and 3rd rounder (from memory) for a guy who was always going to reside in our medical rooms would be stupid?
no one would have an issue with a guy we paid peanuts for being a part timer.
We don’t really have a player like him, but we don’t also have him most of the time.

Private hospitals are not sitting idle. Many are doing public and urgent category 2 lists. I would imagine the doctors complaining are the orthopaedic and plastic surgeons. If case numbers continue the downward trajectory I would imagine elective surgery will be reinstated mid feb, if not earlier.
Didn't say who the doctors were, although the two surgeons they spoke to were a neurosurgeon and a spine and orthopedic surgeon.
Anyway, it appears as of 28th January that the restrictions on elective surgeries are going to be lifted in a stage manner so that looks hopeful for the future.

Right thing to do.
Don't want him carrying a dodgy ankle all year.
May miss one (or two) games only.
Website says “surgery went well”- I interpret that as “it was a clean amputation”.
The trick is to have dodgy ankles all the time, or none at all.Right thing to do.

I heard they had to amputate as they could salvage anything above the ankle. but still on track for round 1

So big Dix had to fly to a jurisdiction where elective surgery is allowed at the moment.
Good thing there wasnt a restriction in SA last year, when we had to have 17 in season surgeries
Just another covid abnormality..

Why has Dixon gone interstate to elect surgery and Fantasia hasn't? Or at least I haven't heard any reports of him going interstate to do the same.

what surgery does Fantasia need? Isn't it an ongoing knee issue rather than one requiring surgery?

Not from what I read here:
This was about a week ago mind you, haven't hard any updates on his progress since.

Dixon tore ligaments in his ankle - that's an urgent repair.
Fantasia had both knees operated on - tidied up - after the Prelim Final. This looks like another tidy up rather than urgent repair to a cartilage or a ligmanent like Dixon had. In that article you quoted, Cornes said they are assessing it. From last September
Injury update: Off-season surgeries confirmed
Eight Port Adelaide players will go under the knife during the off-season, with none expected to have their pre-season preparations hampered.
From the Cornes interview that AFL media wrote the article you quoted on 31st Jan.
Power spearhead tracking well after 'frightening' scare, teammate's surgery delayed
Charlie Dixon is on track for round one, but Orazio Fantasia is facing an uphill battle

"The 26-year-old had his right meniscus tidied up on Tuesday and is expected to be back in full training within a month."
See ya when we see ya, assigned buddy.
