Removal Of Dead Bone From The Shoulder Girdle

Utah rates for HCPCS 23174

This surgery removes dead or infected bone fragments from a bone in the shoulder region, most often as treatment for a bone infection. The surgeon opens the area and takes out the fragments of bone that have died and separated from healthy surrounding bone, which helps the infection clear and allows healthy bone to heal. It is a more targeted removal than shaving down a broader area of diseased bone.
