Surgical Release Of Tight Forearm Muscles At Their Origin

Washington rates for HCPCS 25315

This surgery loosens the muscles that bend the wrist and fingers by releasing and repositioning them at the point where they originate near the elbow. It is used to correct a fixed bending contracture of the wrist and hand caused by tightened muscles, which can occur after certain nerve injuries or with conditions affecting muscle tone. Loosening the muscle origin allows the wrist and fingers to straighten more fully.
