A member asked:
Normally, how long would the swelling last with a broken ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swelling : I tell my patients that after surgery to repair their ankle, swelling can persist for a year. Doing things like elevating the extremity, using cold packs and compression wraps can help get rid of the swelling faster.
