Tendon Lengthening or Shortening, Forearm or Wrist

Vermont rates for HCPCS 25280

Surgery that changes the working length of a tendon in the forearm or wrist, the cord that ties muscle to bone, by either shortening it or lengthening it. It is done when a tendon is too tight to let the wrist or fingers move, or too slack to move them fully. Each tendon treated is counted separately.
