“How long does it take to recover from an ankle operation?”

Recovery depends on the type of ankle surgery you have. It would be best to ask your surgeon for estimated recovery time.

Depends on what ankle surgery you had performed and findings at surgery. Also your expectations, walking, running, competition? Simple ankle arthroscopy 6-12+weeks, ligament reconstruction 12-24 weeks,ankle fractures up to a year. Good luck.

6-12 weeks.

Hello. So many types of ankle surgery. Depends on the type you are having. Also there are about 5 other variables to ‘recovery’ and what that actually means. Most likely you will never be 100% (that is quite difficult and nearly impossible to reach).

A good range is 6 to 8 weeks depending on the conditions addressed. Your surgeon can give you their best estimate based on your specific case. Estimates are just that so they are subject to change.

Good Luck,
Dr. Louden

Depends on what type of surgery. For arthroscopy, 2-3 weeks. For a fusion, 3-4 months.
Hope it helps!!
