OPS-Code 5-782.bu:
Operations on other bones: Excision and resection of diseased bone tissue: Partial resection, endoscopic: Tarsals
You have had altered bone tissue removed from one or more of your tarsal bones.
The foot is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. The lower leg is connected to the tarsus. Then comes the metatarsus and then the individual toes.The tarsus consists of 7 tarsal bones. The tarsal bones form the rear part of the foot.
The bone tissue was removed during an arthroscopy.An arthroscopy first involves making a small incision in the skin. A thin tube is advanced through this incision. There is a camera at the top of the tube. The camera transmits images of the inside of the joint to a screen. Instruments such as forceps and scissors can be inserted into the joint through other small incisions.
