What is the difference between a dislocation and a reconstruction?

I just had the surgery and was looking at the surgery code and it did not change. Can any one help me

A dislocation is when the problem can be fixed with an adjustment or a brace.
Reconstruction is when they have to do surgery to fix a problem, like replacing a knee or a hip because it was shattered in an accident.

Dislocation is out of normal position. Reconstruction is rebuilt to a working position.

the code wouldn't change because the original diagnosis and subsequent treatment remain under the original code.
