Description
These are general fracture fixation OPCS-4 procedural codes These OPCS-4 procedure codes need an additional ICD-10 diagnosis code to confirm that it was for an emergency rather than non-emergency procedure (defined as urgent or elective) Emergency surgery defined as P1a and P1b as per Royal College of Surgeons Surgical Prioritisation Guidelines

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
