Pin Through Bone For Traction

Texas rates for HCPCS 20650

A pin or wire is passed through a bone so that weights can pull steadily on the limb, holding a broken or dislocated bone in a reasonable position until definitive treatment. It is placed through the skin under numbing medicine or anesthesia, and its later removal is included. Traction is usually a temporary measure while awaiting surgery or early healing.
