Your fibula has been surgically straightened 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. The top end of the tibia is connected to the femur by the knee joint. The top ends of the tibia and fibula are also connected by a joint just below the knee joint.

When the fibula is broken it can be stabilized. It could also be that a growth plate has become detached from your fibula. 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 upper end of your fibula was affected. First of all, the fragments of your fibula were surgically put back in their normal place and joined together.

A long pin was inserted into the bone to hold together and stabilize the affected site.

The purpose of the long pin is to stabilize the fibula from within. To do this, the pin is inserted into the bone. The long pin is also attached to a big screw. This screw stabilizes other parts of the bone. The long pin may also be screwed to the bone at its ends.
