Repositioning of fracture and luxation: Open repositioning of a simple fracture in the joint area of a long bone: By ring fixator: Other

One or more of your bones were straightened in an operation and stabilized using devices.

The parts of the affected bone(s) were surgically returned to their normal position and put back together. The parts of the bone were then stabilized using a special fixation system.

The special fixation system involves inserting metal pins or screws through the skin from outside and into the bone. These are then joined to one another outside the body using a holding system. The fixation system consists of some rings and pins that are external to the part of the body concerned.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
