Preventive Forearm Bone Reinforcement

Maine rates for HCPCS 25490

A preventive surgical procedure that reinforces the thumb-side forearm bone (the radius) with hardware such as a rod, pins, plate, or wire, sometimes along with a special bone cement. It is performed before an actual break occurs, usually because a weakened area in the bone puts it at risk of fracturing.
