Your tarsal bones have been re-stabilized using aids.

The foot is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. The lower leg is connected to the tarsus. Then comes the metatarsus and then the individual toes. The anklebone is part of the tarsus. The foot connects to the lower leg via the talus. This connection is known as the upper ankle joint.

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

Your ankle bone fragments were stabilized using one or more long pins inside the bone.

The purpose of the long pins is to stabilize the relevant tarsal bone from within. To achieve this, they are inserted into the space inside the bone. The long nails are inserted through bones and join these bones together. Joints, for example, can be temporarily reinforced like this.
