Customer confidentiality Unfortunately no hits whatsoever for "opchipses" or "at opchipse". Perhaps your context was translated from another language instead of being a native Danish source text.

sounds more like the second than the first the broken wrist was slightly chipped up to place or introduce the screws

otherwise the reference to the screws in this excerpt you provide would not make any sense
andres-larsen Sep 5, 2022:
wondering the question is whether the dorsal side or dorsal surface of the broken wrist chipped up slightly as a result of its fracture or instead was slightly chipped up to place or introduce the screws

that aspect is not specified in your context provided
