Depends on FX type : Ankle fractures heal usually in 2-3 months but mainly depend on the type and severity of the fracture. When it is on both sides of the ankle it may take longer to heal than when the Fx is on one side. However, more important for the time of healing is the type of fracture and the amount of displacement of the fragments as well as if there is any widening of the joint space.
