JK – No my ankles were not pinned. It was to correct my foot drop. Transfer of single tendon, post tibial tendon, lengthening of achilles tendon/leg. It was a year ago, trying to find exact description; drowning in med papers and bills:(
I also had bilateral foot drop on both feet and months of physical therapy. I had to have surgery to correct the foot drop after the pt did not correct it. I am now back on my feet after two years:)
