Ankle fractures are any break in one or multiple bones in the ankle region. These can range from mild fractures, which consist of a simple break of one bone, to severe, which consists of multiple fractures and/or particularly shattered bones. Most simple and mild fractures will take around a month or two to heal to the point that you can regain full use and range of motion in the area. Most severe fractures will take two or more months to fully heal.

The healing times, of course, depend also on how strictly you abide by the doctor’s treatment instructions. For a faster healing process, you should listen to their recommendations, including keeping the foot elevated on cushions, icing the ankle, and avoiding putting weight on it. They may also suggest physical therapy exercises and/or pain killers.
