OPS-Code 5-783.5g:

Operations on other bones: Extraction of a bone graft: Bone graft, microvascular anastomized: Shaft of femur

You have had bone material surgically removed from your femur so that it can be used somewhere else.

The femur has an upper, middle and lower section. The central section of the femur is long and straight.

Bone material has been removed from the middle section of your femur.

Blood vessels supply the femur with oxygen and nutrients, among other things. Blood vessels were removed together with bone material in your case. If the bone material is used at another site in your body, the blood vessels can be connected back to other blood vessels at that site. This should help the bone material to fuse with other bone material at the new site.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
