Broken Rib Repair With Hardware, One Side, Most Ribs

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 0248T

Open surgery to repair broken ribs on one side of the chest when the largest number of ribs is involved. Under general anesthesia the surgeon opens the chest wall, lifts the muscle aside, brings each fracture back into line and fastens it with a plate and screws. Repairs on this scale are usually done after a severe crush or high-speed injury in which much of one side of the rib cage has been broken.
