OPS-Code 5-79a.ck:

Your upper ankle joint was realigned and stabilized using aids.

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.

The bones of the upper ankle joint were first returned to their correct position. Your upper ankle joint was then stabilized using one or more long pins inside the bone.

The purpose of the long pins is to stabilize the joint from within. To achieve this, they are inserted into the interior of the bone. The long nails are inserted through bones and join these bones together. Joints can be temporarily reinforced like this.
