Release Of A Tight Wrist Tendon Sheath

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 25000

This surgery opens the covering, or sheath, that surrounds a tendon at the wrist to relieve tightness, swelling, or irritation that has been restricting the tendon's movement. A common reason for this procedure is a painful condition affecting the thumb-side tendons of the wrist, sometimes called De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Releasing the sheath gives the tendon more room to glide smoothly, reducing pain and improving motion.
