Hi I broke my fib and tib quite badly playing rugby in 2006 I also had a spiral fracture down to the ankle. I had an external fixator on for about 4 months this is basically a frame around the leg, with wires going straight through the leg had nine wires in total, I then had to have a plaster on for 3 wks. Like you i lost a lot of size from from my leg, i would say that i put a lot back on as soon as i was able to use it again (before starting weight training) I broke it in april was off work for 6 months and never trained legs until the following january. Now i am fully recovered and dont even think about it when going heavy on legs I started off slowly with high reps then built up the weight as my strengh and confidence returned. Just try and stay positive and give your self plenty of time to recover and im sure you will be fine. All the best.
