Multiple Muscle Transfer, Shoulder Or Upper Arm

Maine rates for HCPCS 23397

This surgically relocates more than one muscle or tendon in the shoulder or upper arm from its original attachment point to a new position, restoring movement or strength lost due to nerve damage, injury, or paralysis. Moving multiple muscles in the same operation allows the surgeon to rebalance several functions at once, such as improving the ability to lift the arm or rotate the shoulder. It's a more extensive procedure than transferring a single muscle.
