Wrist Joint Capsule Release

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 25085

This procedure opens the tissue capsule that surrounds and encloses the wrist joint. It is done to relieve stiffness, tightness, or a contracture that is limiting the wrist's range of motion when other treatments such as therapy or splinting have not been enough. Opening the capsule allows the surgeon to loosen restricted tissue around the joint.
