Muscle Transfer, Elbow to Shoulder

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 24320

This is surgery to transfer or reposition a muscle spanning from the elbow to the shoulder area, restoring movement that has been lost because nearby muscles or nerves no longer function well enough on their own. It is a more extensive procedure than a local tendon repair. Recovery typically involves a period of limited arm movement followed by gradual physical therapy.
