Open Repair Of Depressed Forehead Sinus Fracture

Iowa rates for HCPCS 21343

This surgically repairs a fracture of the sinus behind the forehead in which the bone has been pushed inward, restoring the normal contour of the forehead and protecting the sinus's ability to drain properly. The surgeon accesses the fracture directly to reposition the depressed bone. It's used for fractures serious enough to need direct surgical correction rather than being left to heal on their own.
