Complex Open Repair of an Upper Jaw Fracture

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 21423

A surgery performed through an open incision to repair a fracture across the upper jaw, at the level where it separates the tooth-bearing bone from the rest of the face, in a case that is more complicated than usual, such as a fracture with many bone fragments or one that involves nerve pathways through the bone. The surgeon directly accesses and realigns the broken bone. It is used for a more complex version of this specific level of midface fracture rather than a straightforward break.
