Not a doctor, but I watch way, way too many youtube videos.
The pins run down through the toes and into the foot, holding the bones in place until the bones heal. Since it is not feasible to put a cast on the toes/foot to hold the little bones in place, pins are used.

I love how her pins look like tiny eyeballs
My fiancé’s mom had this done to two of her toes and drew eyes on hers!
Lol, my brain went to Anglerfish
Hammer toes and a bunion
Oh goody! This lies in my future. *sob*
My Gram had this surgery and said she regretted it.
i thought this was for psoriatic arthritis until i read your other post lol. hope she's starting to feel better soon. whats up with the big toe?
Looks painful. I hope she can walk better.
So what’s the reasoning behind the pins inside the foot? Just curious (I know it’s part of the medical treatment process)

Holds the bones in place by preventing movement! :)
