Minimally Invasive Repair Of A Broken Cheekbone

Georgia rates for HCPCS 21355

This procedure repositions a broken cheekbone back into its normal alignment using manipulation through small skin punctures rather than a large open incision. It is used for fractures involving the cheekbone and the bony arch beside the ear. Because it avoids a large incision, recovery is typically quicker than with a fully open surgical repair.
