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.

The bone fragments from the upper end of your fibula were surgically put back in their normal place, and a special fixation system was used to join and stabilize them for you. The special fixation system involves inserting metal pins or screws through the skin from outside and into the fibula. These are then joined to one another outside the body using a holding system.
