Removal Of Wrist Joint Implant, Complex

New Hampshire rates for HCPCS 25251

This removes an implant that was previously placed in the wrist joint, such as part of a wrist joint replacement, in a case requiring more extensive surgical work to access and remove it than a typical implant removal. It's usually needed when the implant is deeply embedded, has been in place a long time, or the removal involves additional reconstruction of the joint. The goal is to take out the implant safely while protecting the surrounding bone and soft tissue.
