The length of time it takes for a sprained ankle to heal depends upon the extent of the injury. Recovery times can range anywhere from 5 days to 12 weeks. There are three different types of ankle sprains, from slight stretching of the ligaments to complete tearing of ligaments.
For an average type of broken ankle, it can take up to six weeks to fully heal. But in more severe cases it can take months and surgery may also have to be done to correct the problem. It is important to keep the ankle elevated and to rest the ankle for a period of time.
