Surgery for a Broken Elbow End of the Arm Bone

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 24579

Repairs a break at one of the bony prominences at the lower end of the upper arm bone, at the elbow, through an incision. The fragment is lifted back into its correct position under direct view and held with screws, pins or a plate. It is used when the piece has shifted or the elbow is unstable, since a break here can affect how the joint moves and how nearby nerves sit.
