Your tibia has been surgically aligned and aids were used to stabilize it.

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.

When the tibia is broken it can be stabilized. It could also be that a growth plate has become detached from your tibia. In children and adolescents the bone’s growth stems from the growth plates. There are growth plates in the long bones in the arms and legs, and the long bones in the hands and feet. There is a growth plate at each end of these bones.

The lower end of your tibia was affected. First of all, the fragments of your tibia were surgically put back in their normal place and joined together. The affected site was joined and stabilized using wires or plastic tapes.
