Reattachment Of A Severed Thumb

Ohio rates for HCPCS 20824

Emergency microsurgery to reattach a thumb that has been completely cut off. The bone is stabilized first, then the artery, veins, nerves and tendons are repaired under magnification so blood flow, movement and feeling can return. Saving the thumb matters a great deal, because it provides much of the hand's ability to grip and pinch.
