Shortening Procedure Of A Wrist Bone

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 25394

This surgery cuts and shortens one of the small bones of the wrist to correct a length imbalance among the wrist bones, rather than realigning the forearm bones. The surgeon removes a segment of the bone, brings the ends together, and stabilizes it, often with hardware, so it heals in the corrected, shorter position. This aims to relieve pain or mechanical symptoms caused by the bone being relatively too long.
