It takes about six to 12 weeks for a broken ankle to heal, but it may take longer to regain full movement and return to all of your normal activities. Swelling can sometimes take a few years to improve.
In most cases, it can take up to 10 weeks for the fracture to heal. If surgery is not required, ankles are typically placed in casts or splints for up to eight weeks. According to WebMD, ankle fractures are treated surgically or non-surgically and the bones need at least six weeks to heal properly. Doctors typically recommend that patients keep their weight off their broken ankles during the initial six-week period.
