You have broken your talus. This has now been surgically stabilized.

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. 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.

First of all, the fragments were surgically put back in their normal place.

The bone fragments from your ankle bone were then joined and 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. These are then joined to one another outside the body using a holding system. The fixation system consists of some rings and pins that are external to the foot.
