It depends on how many bones, tendons, and other structures are injured and involved, but generally 1-2 hours. Your recovery takes 6-12 weeks.
The surgery will vary depending on the ease of relocation and if any other procedures need to be performed. I recommend you discuss with your surgeon for the time frame in your specific case.
It really depends on the severity of the ankle dislocation such as one malleolus, bimalleolar, or even trimalleolar. The type of fixation involved internal or external and even the possibility of soft tissue injury aluminous ore and or tendon injury.
The answer depends greatly on the type of injury. Your surgeon should be able to answer.
