The duration of surgery depends largely on the extent of the ankle ligament repair, severity of the ankle deformity or injury, and hardware or implant selection. It can range anywhere from 1 to 3 hours depending on what procedures are being done, how many ligaments are being repaired, and if any adjunctive procedures are being performed, such as ankle arthroscopy.
Depends of the injury, please address this with your surgeon. typical soft tissue surgery is approx. 2-4 hrs.
About an hour.
Up to 6 hours or more depends on extent of injury.
The time frame for surgical procedures varies dependent on what needs to be done. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) ASAP for evaluation and treatment options in your case
It depends on the surgeon and the procedure. But generally I would say 1-2 hours of surgery, 1.5-2 hours in pre-op, 1.5-2 hours in recovery.
