A dislocated ankle requires surgical intervention for relocation and plate and screw fixation. It will take 6-12 weeks depending on what procedures have to/had to be performed on your ankle, and depending on which structures were involved.
A dislocated ankle usually takes 6-8 weeks to recover after it has been relocated. This time frame will vary depending on severity and other injuries. I recommend this be discussed with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for this particular case.
