Hello and welcome to HCM,
The heel spur that you have mentioned is the likely cause of bruising inside your ankle.
Angioplasty is unlikely to the cause of bruising.
However, you can get investigations assessing your platelets and coagulation factors.
Consultation with an orthopedician is also required to know the status of bony spur and possibly the injury caused by it.
Thank and take care
