OPS-Code 5-789.0w:

Operations on other bones: Other operations on the bone: Suture of periosteum: Phalanges of the foot

The periosteum of phalanges of your foot were sutured during an operation.

The foot is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. The lower leg is connected to the tarsus. Then comes the metatarsus and then the individual toes. The big toe consists of 2 toe bones. The other toes consist of 3 toe bones.

The periosteum is a thin layer that almost completely envelops the bones. The periosteum has numerous functions, including supplying the bones with nutrients. There are also nerves within it, making it highly sensitive to pain.
