Did the same thing in may playing soccer and your xrays looks exactly like mine. I have been walking fine for a month or so now without a boot, or anything. I just went to the doctor today and they told me that the gap between my tibula and talus has expanded to 5.6mm which is apparently large enough to insure 100% that I will have arthritis when I am in my 50's and now they want me to do another operation to close the gap and remove the old hardware, but now they want me to be non weight baring for three months instead of two. This is kind of crazy for me since I have just been out of work for two months and now they want me to go another three.

I am talking to a specialist on thursday and I am just wondering how important it is going to be for me to have ANOTHER THREE MONTHS OF HELL! vs. just living with the fact that I will have terrible arthritis in my 50's and on. Any thoughts from anyone would be wonderful!!!
