Surgical Repair Of A Torn Elbow Bone Fragment

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 24566

This surgery repairs a small bone fragment at the elbow, called an epicondyle, that has been pulled away from the rest of the bone by the muscles attached to it. The fragment is repositioned and typically secured with hardware such as a screw or pin, placed through small punctures in the skin rather than a large open incision. It is used when the fragment is displaced enough that it will not heal properly on its own.
