Here's a virtual tour of my brand new othrofix three ring external fixator. Six of the pins go completely through the bone to the other side of a ring. Two of the larger screws at the top of the device fixate the entire thing into my tibia.
I have a pin going through just about every bone in my foot and ankle, including my great and small toe metatarsals. Surprisingly, this is comfortable to wear and rest on the floor.
I feel for ya bro. I actually shattered both ankles about ten years ago and had that on both ankles. External fixxators really make you look at life in a new way.
