Aids have been removed from your tibia.

There are 2 bones in the lower leg, the tibia and the fibula. The tibia is on the inside of the leg. The fibula is on the outside of the leg. Both bones in the lower leg have an upper, middle and lower section. At their lower ends the tibia and fibula form the malleolus bones in the ankle. At the top of the ankle the lower ends of the tibia and fibula are connected to a bone at the back of the foot.

To stabilize bones or parts of bones, various aids can be used. They can be made of metal or plastic, for example.

A special fixation system has been removed from the lower section of your tibia. A fixation system like this is used, for example, to stabilize broken bones. The fixation system for the tibia consisted of some rings and pins that were external to the leg.
