Ankle replacement surgery is down to 1-3 days. You will be fitted with a cast, splint or an immobilization device such as a boot. The doctor usually wants to see patients back within a week for a check up and removal of stitches. Good luck with your ankle. Nurse Annie
I recommend this question be ask and answer by your surgeon.
Overnight or outpatient
You are usually discharged the next morning.
There is no hospital stay necessary after total ankle replacement. It is done as an outpatient surgery
I recommend you discuss with your surgeon the time table for your recovery
That would be up there surgeon.
