I had a nasty compound tib/fib fracture with subsequent staph infection due to a combat injury in August '13 and was jumping again with no restrictions in mid- to late December. My surgeon, who installed a rod and performed a bone graft, cleared me after the X-ray showed excellent bone growth. I began my individual physical rehab much earlier than recommended, gradually putting weight on the leg as I walked on crutches, rode an exercise bike, etc. As you probably know, you need this weight-bearing activity to stimulate the bone growth, but it's a tricky thing to ensure you don't push your recovery too fast. In my case, my doctor was very aggressive and informed me that pain/swelling would indicate if I was pushing it too hard. If possible, I highly recommend that you work with an orthopedic surgeon who has experience working with athletes, as the typical timelines the surgeons use are 'one size fits all' for everyone, including 90 year-old morbidly obese diabetic/smoking patients. Best of luck to you.
