How hard is ankle reconstruction in terms of recovery?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ankle recon: It depends if you r having soft tissue work or bone work or both. Usually anywhere from 6-8 weeks immobilized followed by 2-3 months of rehab.

Depends: It depends on what is actually done. It will take a good 12 weeks of healing followed by physical therapy.
