Muscle Transfer at the Elbow to Restore Bending

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 24331

Surgery that moves the attachment of the forearm muscles at the elbow to a new position, so that they can bend the elbow when the muscles that normally do this are paralysed or too weak. The transferred muscles take over the movement, and retraining follows so the person learns to use them for the new task.
