Insertion of customised exposed titanium implants, without soft tissue cover, for complex orofacial reconstruction

Clinical classification codes

Coding recommendations

This procedure cannot be expressed in the OPCS-4 classification by a single code. Code assignment would depend on where the implant was placed and if any other procedures involving the adjacent structures were also performed. The procedure must therefore be coded on a case by case basis, subject to the other actions carried out as documented in the patient’s medical record.
