Re-Closing a Separated Breastbone

Delaware rates for HCPCS 21750

Brings the two halves of the breastbone back together and fixes them when they have pulled apart after the chest was opened down the middle for surgery. Loose wires are taken out, any dead or infected tissue is cleaned away, and the bone is secured again so it can knit. A separated breastbone is painful and unstable and often clicks audibly with breathing.
