I don’t know about a 6-8 month recovery period, maybe more like over a year.

Luckily spiral fractures have greater surface area and occur at lower force then other types of fractures. Therefore typically heal well. Use “open fracture” not “compound fracture”. I’d prefer a simple tibia fx over an ACL any day.
