How long does it take a chipped ankle bone to heal?

Treatment depends on the bone fractured and the type of fracture, but it usually involves placing the foot and ankle in a cast or a specially designed shoe or boot with open toes, Velcro fasteners, and a rigid sole to protect the foot from further injury. People are often instructed not to put any weight on the foot for a period of time. How long they have to wait depends on the injury and can take up to several months. Often, doctors encourage people to move the foot and ankle as soon as doing so is not too painful.
