He required two surgeries to fix it but has now offered an update of his leg with the heavy bandages removed.
Rins was joined on the sidelines at the recent Dutch MotoGP by fellow Honda riders Joan Mir and Marc Marquez, who were nursing separate injuries, meaning Takaaki Nakagami was the only rider from their manufacturer to compete at Assen.
But Rins is hoping to resume his season at the British MotoGP on August, the next race after a five-week summer break.
His rollercoaster first year at Honda saw him win the Grand Prix of the Americas in Texas, the first rider aside from Marquez to win a MotoGP race for the Japanese manufacturer since 2018.
But he also experienced a serious low at Mugello when his leg was broken.
