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.
The recovery time for a broken ankle for most patients is 4-8 weeks for the bones to heal, and several months to regain full range of motion of the ankle joint. Severe fractures such as those requiring surgery will take more time to heal.
