However long to fix the problem
1-2 hours
It truly depends on the injury. It could be as simple as an ankle scope and be 20 min to and hourish, And if a more complex injury could take upwards of 60 to 90 min.
If it is a complex injury that may need reconstructive surgery it could take longer.
It depends on what kind of surgery are having. For example arthroscopic surgery can heal quicker than having it open procedure that requires ligament or tendon repair. Jonathan M. Kletz, DPM Texas Foot WorksDallas, Athens and Gun Barrel City Texas214-340-8885

This will depend on what procedure is being performed. I recommend you discuss your particular case with your surgeon.
It depends on what type of ankle surgery you are to have.
Typical 2-3 hours but it all depends on the surgery performed, doctor preference, and recovery from anesthesia. Please talk to your doctor about the concerns.
