M73.85: Other soft tissue disorders in diseases classified elsewhere Pelvic region and thigh
You have a soft tissue disorder in your pelvis or thigh.
The pelvis is made up of different bones. There are 3 bones on each side which each merge to form one large pelvic bone. A joint connects these two large pelvic bones to the sacrum at the back of the body. The sacrum is part of the lower spine. The two pelvic bones plus the sacrum form a bony pelvic ring or girdle. In front, the two pelvic bones are tightly joined to one another by ligaments and cartilage fiber.
Soft tissue includes muscles, fatty tissue and connective tissue, for example.
Your soft tissue disorder has been caused by another disorder.
