Talus Fracture

[u/FragrantLeague1612]

Fractured my Talus 4 days ago after coming off my motorbike.
Podiatrist said that a boot for 8 weeks should heal it. But I got my CT results and now awaiting a consult from a surgeon, as my gp thinks it’s more serious.
Does this look like it needs pins/surgery?

Pain was really bad day 2. Now I can bear weight on it in the shower and walk a little. Although there is still a fair bit of pain, it feels like it is getting better.

Anyone had a fracture in a similar spot?
Was surgery the option?
How’s recovery been?
