OPS-Code 5-782.1r:

Operations on other bones: Excision and resection of diseased bone tissue: Partial resection with soft tissue resection: Distal fibula

Altered bone tissue was removed from the lower end of your calf bone (fibula).

There are 2 bones in the lower leg, the tibia and the fibula. The tibia is on the inside of the leg. The fibula is on the outside of the leg. Both bones in the lower leg have an upper, middle and lower section. At their lower ends the tibia and fibula form the malleolus bones in the ankle. At the top of the ankle the lower ends of the tibia and fibula are connected to a bone at the back of the foot.

There are various soft tissues around the calf bone (fibula). Soft tissue includes muscles, fatty tissue and connective tissue, for example. In addition to the altered bone tissue, you also had soft tissue from the area surrounding the calf bone (fibula) removed.
