You had an operation that put the bones of your upper ankle back into their correct position and stabilized them.

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.

You dislocated your upper ankle joint and it has been stabilized with a special brace. You have had metal pins or screws inserted into the bones through the skin from outside. A brace was then used to connect these metal rods or screws to one another outside your body.
