How long will it take an ankle fracture to heal?

6 weeks: Ankle fractures usually heal over 6-8 weeks. However, while the bone may heal in a short time the swelling, pain and stiffness may persist long after the bone is healed. This is because an ankle fracture is not just a bone injury it is also a soft tissue injury which always takes longer to heal than the bone.
