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 have been stabilized using a special fixation system. The special fixation system involves inserting metal pins or screws through the skin from outside and into the bone concerned. These are then joined to one another outside the body using a holding system. The fixation system consists of some rings and pins located around the bone.
