Elbow Fusion With the Patient's Own Bone

Alabama rates for HCPCS 24802

Permanently fuses the bones of the elbow so the joint no longer bends, using bone taken from elsewhere in the patient's own body to help the ends knit together. Harvesting that bone is part of the operation. It is chosen when the joint is destroyed and stability matters more than motion.
