OPS-Code 5-782.48:

Operations on other bones: Excision and resection of diseased bone tissue: Partial resection with continuity severance and with restoration of continuity: Shaft of ulna

Altered bone tissue was removed from the middle section of your ulna.

There are 2 bones in the forearm, the ulna and the radius. The ulna is on the side where your little finger is. The radius is on the side where your thumb is. Both bones in the forearm have an upper, middle and lower section. The ulna and the radius both have a long, straight section in the middle.

The operation involved cutting right through the ulna. The ulna was then put back together.
