Basham attempted to cross the ball into the Fulham box when his ankle gave way and was badly broken.
The match was stopped for 13 minutes while the 35-year-old was given oxygen and then taken to hospital in distressing scenes.
Sheffield United confirmed that he had undergone surgery this week and now the player has spoken to worried supporters for the first time.
The club shared a picture of Basham giving the thumbs-up from his hospital bed that he had shared on Instagram.
And it came accompanied with a message from that veteran that read: “Had my two surgery’s done now and I can’t thank the surgeons enough for the fast response to me, the first surgery was for cleaning up the wound I suffered and dislocation, the second surgery was to repair the ligaments and to fit a plate on my bone where the fracture was.
“I’m in a cast now and it feel a lot more comfortable. Will be in London still for another few days but then be going home to recover in the right way.”
Basham added: “Trying to stay positive everyday with great family and friends around me. Still overwhelmed by the support I have received. Thank you Bash.”
