OPS-Code 5-79a.7f:

The pubic symphysis connecting the two pubic bones in the front of your pelvis was realigned and stabilized with 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 pelvic bones in the front part were first returned to their correct position. The pubic symphysis connecting the two pubic bones in the front of your pelvis was then stabilized using a special fixation system and other special aids.

To stabilize bones or parts of bones, various aids can be used. They can be made of metal or plastic, for example. 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.
