Lengthening Of Both Forearm Bones

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 25393

Surgery that lengthens both bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Each bone is cut and set at a greater length, then held in position while it heals. It is done when the forearm is too short or the two bones are mismatched, which causes pain and limits use of the wrist and elbow.
