6-12 weeks: A lateral malleolar fracture in place will take approximately 6 weeks, while the same fracture that may require surgery may take up to 12 weeks to heal.

4 - 6 weeks: The ave bone healing time is approx 4 to 6 weeks in a healthy individual. Factors such a excessive activities can slow heading time. Bone stimulators may hasten the recovery slightly. See your podiatrist or orthopedist for an evaluation.

6-8 weeks: A lateral malleolar fracture takes aproximately 6-8 weeks to heal if properly immobilized and non-weightbearing. This immobilization may require more than just a below the knee cast or walker boot. Surgery is required (internal fixation - screws/plate) if fracture is displaced and unstable.

Depends: It depends if it is a fracture that requires surgery or just immobilization. On average non surgical 6 to 8 weeks.
