Forearm or Wrist Tendon Transfer With a Graft

Iowa rates for HCPCS 25312

A working tendon in the forearm or wrist is rerouted to take over the job of one that no longer functions, restoring movement of the wrist or fingers. A length of tendon taken from elsewhere in the body is used to bridge the gap and complete the connection. It covers a single tendon; if more than one is treated, each is billed separately.
