Open Repair of a Broken Lower Jaw

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 21461

Exposes a broken lower jaw through an incision so the pieces can be lined up under direct view and held in position while the bone knits. It is used when the fracture is displaced or unstable enough that it will not heal straight on its own. Exact alignment matters because the teeth have to meet correctly once healing is done.
