Rods and Screws Spanning Many Spinal Levels

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 22844

Attaches rods anchored by screws or hooks to the back of the spine across a long stretch of vertebrae, holding them in position while a fusion heals. This is the version used when a large number of spinal bones are linked together, as in major deformity surgery. It is billed in addition to the fusion itself.
