Ouch, I know this hurts Yesspaz, I had a very similar fracture in the late 80's playing football (soccer).
I was the goalie so I jumped to get a corner shot and when I fell down my left knee rested over a my other leg, but a $%&¬%* from the other team jumped over my tibia and fibula breaking them in several parts and the bones were exposed (outside the skin).
No photos either (thanks to God (
) ). After some months and therapy my bones are ok, and had enough time to make my thesis, so you should be 100% in less than 6 months, but take my advice and make good use of your free time.
Hope you get well very soon.
