Fractured ankle. whats recovery time?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: A fractured ankle has varying degrees of severity. If you had a mild fracture and did not require surgery it might be a little as 3 months. If you had surgery and your fracture was severe you'll probably need 6 months to a year to recover.

Depends: It will depend on how it was treated, by surgery or just y a cast, but an estimate would be 8-12 weeks, it also depends on the type of fracture.
