Depends: Everything depends on your ankle pathology, what will be done during surgical or diagnostic arthroscopy, your general health and coexisting medical problems. Talk to your surgeon , he is the best to answer your question.

Recovery: Your recovery depends on the extent of the surgery; the efficiency of your immune system; the delivery of essential nutrients to the surgical site for repair; the quality of your sleep; how well hydrated you are; the extent of your post-op physical therapy and activity level. In other words, there are many factors that must be taken into consideration. Expect at least 3 to 4 months on average.
