OPS-Code 5-79a.6e:

The joint between your pelvic bone and your sacrum was realigned and stabilized using aids.

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.

The bones of the joint between your pelvic bone and sacrum were first returned to their correct position. The joint between your pelvic bone and your sacrum was then stabilized using a special fixation system.

The special fixation system involves inserting metal rods or screws through the skin from outside and into the bones concerned. These are then joined to one another outside the body using a holding system.
