OPS-Code 5-784.eh:
Operations on other bones: Bone transplantation and transposition: Transplantation of spongiosa, allogeneic, endoscopic: Distal femur
You had an operation to place bone material in your femur.
The femur has an upper, middle and lower section. The lower section of the femur is connected to the lower leg bones by the knee joint.
The bone material was placed in the lower section of the femur. In your case, the bone material was inserted within the scope of an endoscopy. An endoscopy starts with a small incision being made in the skin. A thin tube or hose is advanced through this incision. There is a camera at the top of the tube or scope. The camera transmits images of the inside of the body to a screen. Instruments such as forceps or scissors can be inserted through other small incisions.
The bone material for your femur came from another person.
