One or more bones in your arm or leg were broken and have been operated on.

The arms and legs each consist of various long bones. These long bones can be divided into different sections. The bones have a long, straight section in the middle. At their ends, the long bones are joined to other bones by joints.

In your case the long, straight bone sections have been broken into various pieces. You had an operation to bring the broken parts back together and put them into their normal position.

The break was stabilized using a special brace.

For the special holding system you have had metal pins or screws inserted into your bone through the skin from outside. These were then joined to one another outside the body using a holding system. The holding system is designed to be mobile. The body part being treated can, therefore, be moved.
