OPS-Code 5-782.9d:
Operations on other bones: Excision and resection of diseased bone tissue: Total resection of a bone with replacement and with soft tissue resection: Pelvic
In order to remove altered bone tissue, a pelvic bone was removed and then replaced.
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. At the front, the two pelvic bones are firmly connected to each other by ligaments and cartilage fibers.
There are various soft tissues around the pelvic bones. Soft tissue includes muscles, fatty tissue and connective tissue, for example. In addition to the pelvic bone, you also had soft tissue from the area surrounding the pelvic bone removed.
