Open Shoulder Stabilization with Bone Graft

Colorado rates for HCPCS 23460

This open surgery treats a shoulder joint that repeatedly slips out of place at the front by tightening the loose joint capsule and adding a small piece of bone to help block the shoulder from dislocating again. The surgeon works through an incision to reposition tissue and secure the bone graft in place. This approach is used for cases of significant, recurring instability that have not resolved with less involved treatment.
