OPS-Code 5-78a.q0:
Operations on other bones: Inspection of osteosynthesis material with reosteosynthesis: Through fixed-angle plate with integrated band: Clavicle
Your collarbone has been re-stabilized using aids.
The collarbone (clavicle) is a bone at the front of the ribcage. It runs from the ribcage to the shoulder and joins the shoulder blade at the shoulder.
Your collarbone has been stabilized using one or more special plates.
There is an additional metal band on the special plate. This allows the force to be distributed more evenly across the bones.

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