OPS-Code 5-784.fd:
Operations on other bones: Bone transplantation and transposition: Transplantation of a cortico-spongiosa chip, allogeneic, endoscopic: Pelvic
You had an operation to place bone material in your pelvic bones.
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 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 pelvic bones came from another person.
