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 tarsus consists of 7 tarsal bones. The tarsal bones form the rear part 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.

Your tarsal 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.
