OPS-Code 5-784.az:
Operations on other bones: Bone transplantation and transposition: Bone transposition, vascular pedicled: Scapula
You had an operation to place bone material in your shoulder blade.
The shoulder blade is a flat bone. It is in the upper part of the back, to the right and left of the spine. As part of the shoulder joint, the shoulder blade connects the upper body to the arm. The shoulder blade is involved in many movements in the shoulder area.
The bone material for your shoulder blade was taken from another part of your body beforehand.
Blood vessels supply the bones with oxygen and nutrients, among other things. A special technique was used for your operation. The bone material remained connected with its original site by means of a blood vessel and pedicle (tissue bridge). This blood vessel was not severed. As a result, the supply of blood to the bone material was not interrupted. This should help the bone material to fuse.
Additional indicator
