Cast Or Brace Treatment Of A Spinal Fracture

Montana rates for HCPCS 22310

A broken vertebra, one of the block-shaped bones of the spine, is treated without surgery and without manually repositioning the bone, because the pieces sit in acceptable position. A cast or brace is fitted and is part of the treatment, holding the spine still while the bone heals. The area is monitored during healing to confirm the position is holding.
