How long does it take to recover from a broken foot

If it is a mild broken foot, it usually takes about 1~2 weeks to recover, if it is a more serious broken foot, it will take half a year or longer. A mild foot sprain is also known as an ankle sprain. A mild foot sprain does not damage the joints, ligaments, etc., so the recovery time is 1~2 weeks. Severe ankle sprains may damage tendons and ligaments, so the recovery time is longer. 1. Mild ankle injury: Mild ankle injury is generally ankle injury of the first degree, without damage to joints, ligaments, tendons and other parts of the body, there is a slight pain or discomfort, usually in about 3~4 weeks can gradually recover. 2. Severe ankle injury: severe ankle injury generally corresponds to ankle sprain II degree or III degree. At this time, patients may have serious symptoms such as ligament tear, tendon rupture, joint displacement, etc. Surgery is needed to repair the ruptured tendons and ligaments, so the recovery period is usually half a year or even longer. It is recommended to observe the ankle joint for a period of time after the injury. If the patient is unable to walk normally for a long period of time, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time and analyze whether there are other lesions in the ankle joint through the doctor’s examination.
