Broken Rib Repair With Hardware, One Side, Many Ribs

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 0247T

Open surgery to repair a large number of broken ribs on one side of the chest. The surgeon works along the chest wall fracture by fracture, realigning the bone ends and fixing each one with a plate and screws so the rib cage regains its stiffness. Injuries this extensive often come with bruising of the lung underneath, so breathing support is commonly part of the recovery.
