Removal Of Deep Surgical Hardware

Vermont rates for HCPCS 20680

This surgery removes hardware, such as a plate, screw, rod, pin, wire, or metal band, that was previously implanted deep within the body to help a broken or repaired bone heal. The hardware is removed once it's no longer needed, whether because the bone has healed, the hardware is causing irritation or pain, or for another medical reason. Because the hardware sits deep in the tissue rather than near the surface, its removal is a more involved procedure than removing hardware placed just under the skin.
