Ankle surgery : There is no exact date for recovery. Depending on where the spurs were located some areas may take longer to heal than others. One option you have to help with recovery is to do physical therapy.

Really: Depends on where spurs are and how many we're removed but generally an estimate of 4-6 weeks.
