How long would an ankle surgery take and what's recovery like?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: It depends on what procedure is being done. Could take 1-4 hours. Again recovery depends on the procedure done. Speak to your surgeon.

Variable: The answer to the question depends on the type of ankle surgery that would need to be performed. This could be as quick as 30 minutes or as long as 3 hours. Recovery would also be the same. The best advice is to ask your surgeon.
