Hi,

This is from a list of surgical procedures performed by a surgeon.
The category is Osteosynthesis:

Is this a typo?? Could they mean reverse plating? I have never heard of Reverplattung before!!

Any help appreciated!

Re-Verplattung -> re-plating (Verplattung -> plating

This guy just offers to re-do it (Oberschenkelhals-RE-Eingriff). Therefore one should look for the translation for Verplattung.
Check www.stryker.com resp. ~de for matta pelvic system.

Re-Verplattung = erneute Verplattung - re-plating

See http://www.kup.at/journals/abbildungen/4809.html ("Re-Verplattung" - a Verplattung had to be performed for the second time due to failure of the first implant).

Explanation

Look at "Re-" as doing something again. The patient may have had a plate on his femur replaced.
