Reinforcing Both Forearm Bones Before A Break

Colorado rates for HCPCS 25492

Strengthens both bones of the forearm before they break, using a rod, plate, pins, or wires, sometimes with bone cement to fill a weakened cavity. It is done when the bone has been weakened by a tumor or another disease and is likely to fracture with ordinary use. Treating both forearm bones in the same operation is what sets this apart from strengthening a single bone.
