How long to heal a broken ankle?

How long does it take for a broken ankle to heal?

  • My mum is 65, she broke her ankle in August 2011, both of the bones and had an operation and got nine screws put in. Now she can walk but during the day it swells up, but on the next morning it is a lot better...I am worried about her and scared she may stay like this for ever.... How long will it take to heal completely? Does anyone know.

  • Answer:

    It takes longer for bones to heal in older people and their diet can effect bone growth. She also may have tendinitis from the injury, which is swelling of the tendons.
